Unfortunately, clang doesn't support a spec-file mechanism like gcc
yet (at least it didn't when I checked). So the easiest way to achieve
this is to use the alias mechanism of your shell:

Depending on your shell add a line

  alias clang++="clang++ -std=c++11"

to ~/.bashrc (in case of bash) or ~/.zshrc (if it is zsh) or something
else.

(And source it via $ source ~/.[...], or open a new terminal)

Best,
Matthias
