I think that it is too early to fill any external bug reports for the compiler that is unable to compile the first "hello world" example from the Stroustrup's book.

I've confirmed in face-to-face discussion with several key Clang folks that they do indeed to want bug reports against the Windows port. In other words, just what Jonathan said.

I still do not see a roadmap for using clang with Boost Build under Windows to build/test Boost libraries. Am I supposed to download a Windows snapshot from http://llvm.org/builds/ ? Am I supposed to get the latest llvm/clang from http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html and build it for Visual Studio ( this never worked properly in the past and there is no mention of VS2012 on that page ). Am I supposed to use a 'clang' toolset on Windows with Boost Build ? As usual, with no doubt all the "good" intentions in the world to allow clang to be used under Windows, the documentation, explanation, and support for clnag under Windows is lacking/minimal.
