Comment (by Nicolas.Hoeft@…):

 IMHO, the problem is that this configuration (clang + gcc stdlibc++) is
 not that uncommon on linux and usually work quite well together.
 libc++ seems not to be in that good shape (for linux) and it's quite a
 hassle installing it.

 The problem with user-defined configurations is that if you are writing a
 library that uses boost, every user of that library will have to configure
 boost by himself..
