So are you saying that clang can not work with those same header files 
and libstdC++ ?

If that is the case then clang on Windows can not be run except if no 
headers are required.

I was able to just test compilation code using clang as long as no 
headers were involved. But that is a pretty limited use of clang under 
Windows.

Using gcc and MingW it is possible to use gcc under Windows with Boost 
successfully. I tried dropping the output of the clang build, which I 
did in a separate directory structure as clang recommends, into my mingW 
structure on top of the gcc 4.5.2 files there and then build my Boost 
library using the clang toolset in Boost, which is setup for clang in 
Linux, but it did not work with many errors.
