Unable to build plugin on Ubuntu 16.04

[AMarcedone]

I am having issues building the plugin on Ubuntu 16.04.
I tracked down the command which is failing from the make script, and it is the following:

 antonio@AntonioXPS13:~/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/src$ cd /home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/src %&& /usr/bin/clang++   -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK="1 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX" -DDEBUG -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLEVELDB_PLATFORM_POSIX -Dshadow_preload_bitcoind_EXPORTS -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/src -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/src -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src/leveldb/helpers/memenv -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src/leveldb/helpers -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src/leveldb/include -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src/leveldb -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src/config -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/bitcoin/src -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/gnu-pth -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/build/boost_1_62_0 -I/home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/cmake -I/home/antonio/.shadow/include -I/home/antonio/.shadow/share/cmake/Modules -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include  -g -g -fPIC   -DHAS_BOOST -DHAVE_WORKING_BOOST_SLEEP -o CMakeFiles/shadow-preload-bitcoind.dir/bitcoind/bitcoind-preload.cpp.o -c /home/antonio/shadowInstall/shadow-plugin-bitcoin/src/bitcoind/bitcoind-preload.cpp

I think this might be related to the version of stdlibc++ I am using, but I am not sure how to force the clang compiler to use a different one after installing it via apt-get. Any suggestions?

Make sure you are using Shadow version 1.10.2, and the latest master branch of the bitcoin plugin. After that, I don't have much experience building this plugin in many diverse environments.

Thanks!
If I manage to make progress, I'll post a comment here.
