Folks there are persistent bug reports relating to clang with libstdc++ not correctly detecting the std lib feature set, see https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7473 for a lengthy discussion on the issue, and why it's been unsolvable.
Anyhow, I've just committed a tentative patch in https://github.com/boostorg/config/commit/b36566fe04a89103b7ef5569c03e3a26eb...
and I'd be grateful if as many folks as possible can test this with their clang/linux/libstdc++/C++11 setups as they can. It works well for me locally, but that's only one possible clang configuration.
BTW the easiest way to patch your Boost version is probably to download a replacement libstdcpp2.hpp from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boostorg/config/b36566fe04a89103b7ef5569c0...
Why use the GCC version numbers as a base instead of the libstdc++ version numbers? (__GLIBCXX__) They're probably more reliable than checking for existence of an include.
My bad, hadn't read the ticket. __GLIBCXX__ apparently has problems because of GCC bugfix releases.
