Just for fun, I used libc++ and libc++abi instead of libc++ and libstdc++.
Bootstrap success, with:

$ ldd ./bin/clang
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffbbf3c000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007fc42f456000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fc42f252000)
        libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5
(0x00007fc42f02a000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007fc42ee0d000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007fc42ebf6000)
        libc++.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 (0x00007fc42e90c000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fc42e610000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
(0x00007fc42e3fa000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc42e039000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc42f684000)

I'll do a stage2 / stage3 compare tomorrow, but I'm not expecting any
surprises. (I'm also mildly interested in trying to replace libgcc_s with
compiler_rt and using lld to link, but again, that's for another day...)
