try -fdelayed-template-parsing to get around this problem.
I think -fdelayed-template-parsing should be there by default if clang
is built with MSVC. I'll see what I can do.

Beside that, since you are using the MSVC 2008 headers, you might get
2-3 errors because of missing typename. (Depending on which files you
include), Don't try MFC or ATL headers, we are not there yet.
