I had an incomplete clang setup. Just fixed it. Here are the details:

OS: Lubuntu 14.04, i386.
clang: clang 3.4 (3.5 was incorrect info).

I installed using the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get install clang
$ sudo apt-get install llvm
$ sudo apt-get install libc++-dev

The following does not work because of the layout=tagged property. I didn't try to find out the alternative - maybe it cannot be overridden for clang build.s
$ ./b2 install --prefix=<install-prefix> --build-dir=<build-dir> toolset=clang layout=tagged variant=release link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi cxxflags=" -stdlib=libc++" linkflags=" -stdlib=libc++"
