Which means cross-posting to libstdc++ and gcc-help is not appropriate.
It's possible that there is a bug in the libstdc++ headers which is
picked up by clang and not by g++, but since you didn't post a
complete testcase that case be inspected, there's no way to know.
If you think there's a bug, please provide a complete testcase
demonstrating it, either on the libstdc++ list or following these
instructions: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/
If you have a basic question about using gcc please follow-up on the
gcc-help list.

That shouldn't matter, char_traits is declared in bits/stringfwd.h not
bits/char_traits.h
