I managed to use:

CC=clang CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -I <libcxxdir..." cmake...

  to cause it to use clang++ with libc++ to build LLVM/clang.

But now I run into bug 10646 
(http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10646). Can somebody comment on 
when the patch will be available on trunk. I can apply the patch to my 
local copy but would like to avoid local changes.
