Hi,

clang compiler is not delivered with a C++11 standard library. When
compiling on c++11 mode, some boost libraries (in particular,
Boost.Thread, Boost.SmartPtr, Boost.Test) are expecting to have a C++11
standard library. This mean that the user needs to install the latest
version of libc++.

Could we state clearly in the release notes if the combination clang+
-std=c++11 + libstdc++ is not supported. Otherwise these libraries
should update their code so that the user can use this combination.

Best,
Vicente
