Clang boost oddities - macos

Question

I am doing a pet project and am using clang++ (specifically MacPorts clang 3.1). So I decided to switch over to libc++ (to use std::array and such) but I was using boost (specifically asio and regex), so I had to recompile boost using libc++. I removed boost which was installed in macports and build boost from source and now is installed in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib. Ever since then, I cannot compile. Here are the oddities I am encountering:
When executing:
clang++ -g -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -c main.cpp
I get a weird compile error having to do with the move constructor (there's more to this error, but as you can see it is coming from boost):
/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1952:10: error: overload resolution selected implicitly-deleted copy assignment operator
__r_ = _STD::move(__str.__r_);
^
/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1942:9: note: in instantiation of member function 'std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >::__move_assign' requested here
__move_assign(__str, true_type());
^
/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1961:5: note: in instantiation of member function 'std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >::__move_assign' requested here

s1 = traits_inst.transform(a, a + 1);
However, when I execute (please note the "-I", and it must be in that exact position):
clang++ -I -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -g -c main.cpp
This compiles (but linking fails later on). Why is this? What does -I do without a path? Must -stdlib= be preceded with -I?
Now the fun part:
Even though, everything compiles now, it won't link. When executing:
clang++ main.o FTPClient.o FTPConnection.o -lboost_system -lboost_regex -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -g -o cli
I get the message:

Now I am thinking maybe I a missing some -lboost flag but I am not sure what it is. What could be the reason for this?
Thanks very much!
EDIT: When looking through the logs of installing boost, I noticed this:

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Does this mean boost regex maybe incompatible with -libc++?
EDIT 2: I tried using std::regex, but I get this:

Answer 1

A helpful, but unsatisfactory answer: libc++ contains std::regex, which you can use instead of boost::regex.
