I think this is more a case of trying to use clang with a too old
version of libstdc++ from base, which doesn't have the necessary c++17
bits. With a more recent version of libstdc++ or libc++, you won't get
these PLIST issues with clang. Installing libcxx from pkgsrc and
compiling with -stdlib=libc++ might help but it's a sparsely tested
configuration.
