Bug#594820: clang: specify libstdc++ version of headers to use

[Marc Glisse]

Package: clang
Version: 2.7-3
Severity: normal

clang++ uses an auto-detection mechanism to append all (well, most)
directories in /usr/include/c++ to its include search path. This
technique is broken:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6907

Besides, clang has trouble with versions of those headers that are
either too old or too recent.

On the other hand, it is possible to specify to clang++ where the
headers are (at configuration time).

I believe it would be best to make clang depend on a specific
libstdc++6-4.X-dev (I think 4.2 is the recommended one, so maybe 4.3 to
have one that is still in testing) and configure it to use only these
headers.
