I have always had a difficult problem trying to figure out with which version of gcc/libstdc++ a particular version of clang will work.

Thanks. I still find problems using clang 3.x-4.0 even with latest versions of gcc. On Windows it is mostly linking problems, but the clang developers on the mailing list really don't care about clang targeting gcc on Windows. But even on Linux I run into problems where gcc "just works".
I have a strong feeling that clang needs to distribute its own headers and own standard library ( libc++ ) in order to work correctly and reliably as a compiler. Hopefully the clang developers will understand this for the future also.
+1 I'd like (expect even) a standalone distribution to 'just work' on Windows (and other IDEs). Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
