Bug description:
  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
