From #llvm:

<anholt> is it intended that when linking a c++ app with clang that -lstdc++ has to be explicitly specified?
<aKor> anholt: link via clang++
<aKor> :)
<nicholas> yes, same as with gcc. try linking with clang++ instead.
<anholt> ah, my 2.7 clang packages don't come with a clang++ binary
<dgregor> anholt: don't use 2.7 for C++. For c++, you'll need to use
clang from Subversion
<dgregor> anholt: adding -lstdc++ is the wrong solution. clang++ is just
a symlink to clang, by the way. you can add it yourself
