as best we can figure it clang++ is not sufficiently compatible with g++5 and in a way that we can't fix or workaround. https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23529 summarises the reason: for some interfaces (std::string) g++ now uses an "abi_tag" that clang doesn't grok.

While that state remains we won't be able to build Mir with clang on
Wily.

We're planning to try switching the clang builds to run on Vivid.
