When I'm not building with libcxx in-tree I find it easiest to just
symlink Xcode's libc++ headers into the build directory. Something
like "ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++
build/include".

Yes, the libstdc++ included with OS X is ancient (from GCC 4.2 I
think) and there only for compatibility reasons. It has virtually no
support for C++11, which LLVM needs.

Cheers.
