None of these solutions relieves you from building your binary at the 
same place at Clang is installed, or duplicate the Clang headers along 
your tool installation so that they are in PATH_TO_BIN/../lib/...
Or did I miss something at some point?

 From my (very shallow) experience, unless you get very deep with the 
initialization it end up by looking the headers from the place the 
binary is installed.
