C++11: fixing a bug to use chrono with clang

Working with chrono in C++11 is working with gcc but fails with clang on my Debian system. Reports are in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666539
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=12893



The error looks like this:

Not awesome.

Funny thing: there is a fix to it:
http://clang.llvm.org/libstdc++4.7-clang11.patch

So I tried the following:
1) Opening the file: /usr/include/c++/4.7/type_traits
2) Going down to line 1749
3) Changing the line to what the patch said:
{ typedef typename decay<decltype(true ? declval<_Tp>() : declval<_Up>())>::type type; };

 Done.

Now I can use clang to compile my code even if it uses chrono.
Awesome.
