This appears similar to the build errors in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761193.

Those were initially addressed by disabling exception handling on armhf (https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-llvm/libcxx/trunk/debian/patches/disable-arm-excep-handling.diff) and later with a patch that supposedly implements exception handling on armhf (https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-llvm/libcxx/trunk/debian/patches/libcxxabi-arm-ehabi-fix.patch, not forwarded upstream).
