The problem is that libc++ doesn't support GNU C++.

I suspect that that is not even close to what is needed.  Last
time I tried to use news/pan, it died a miserable death.  It uses
a g++-ism, which clang does not support, and from what I've 
inferred from a certain developer clang will never support this
g++-ism.   When the gcc to clang switch was pulled, news/pan
would not build with clang.  So someone had the brilliant idea
to simpy use g++ with news/pan.  Unfortunately, one also needs
to re-compile some (all?) libraries, which are written in C++,
that news/pan uses because libstdc++ and libc++ are incompatible.
I've been down that road.  I now use thunderbird to read USENET. :(
