You need to run clang from a term that has the correct environment
variables set for your VS install. The problem is that it's picking up
gnuwin32 link.exe instead of MSVC link.exe. You can either open
cmd.exe and manually run: \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat, or you can open the "Visual Studio Command
Prompt (2010)" which will do this for you.
