The last time I investigated, I ended up with this information:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=12684

There is a difference in what GCC does when building libstdc++ and what
Clang does when generating code itself, leading to an ABI incompatibility.
I've thought about attempting to build libstdc++ with Clang, but I doubt
that is easily feasible.
