The error here does not appear to be in clang or libc++, but in the use by the thing that you are compiling.
This is saying that you have tried to create a std::dequeu<pan::Log::Entry>, but pan::Log::Entry is a forward declaration and so the template instantiation fails.
The fix is to move the definition of pan::Log::Entry such that it is visible at the time of its use.
