Yeah, you need to download and build libcxx in addition to LLVM, Clang
(CFE), and Tools.

You can find libcxx at http://libcxx.llvm.org/.

Also, the Autotools/Make based stuff does not work because it does not
detect the presence of libcxx in-tree (or is it out-of-tree?). Use the
Cmake gear instead.

Ditto for LLDB if you choose to build it, too.
