This is mirroring Debian bug #808086 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808086
Compiling any source file that includes <string> with clang 3.8 and
-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ results in a compile error.
While this is a minor bug in Debian (as it doesn't ship 3.8 yet), xenial
does, and that's a major problem as it makes libc++ useless.
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-stdlib=libc++'

Update (30 Aug 2017): as per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates :
[Impact]
This bug makes it impossible to compile any C++11 source file that
includes <string> with clang 3.8 using libc++. Any non-trivial C++11
codebase is affected, making the whole libc++ package useless.
[Test Case]
See above. Create a C++ file that simply contains #include <string> and
compile it with clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ file.cpp.
[Regression Potential]
The current <string> header simply does not work with clang-3.8 under
any condition, so there is no regression potential.
The regression potential for GCC is also extremely limited: no package
whatsoever uses GCC in combination with libc++, and the fact that GCC
5.4 -- currently in Xenial -- does not detect the error that Clang
detects is just showing that GCC is bugged in this regard.
[Other Info]
The patch/workaround fixes the problem. See also the discussion at the
linked Debian bug report as well as https://stackoverflow.com/q/37096062
** Affects: libc++ (Ubuntu)
