Note that the GPL has this requirement only for derivative works!
In the case you write clojure code, clojure wouldn't be a derivative
work of your program and so clojure doesn't need to be licensed under
the GPL....
There are GPL software that run on windows and use windows libraries,
this doesn't require windows to be licensed under the GPL.....
If you want to modify clojure itself and redistribute it under the
GPL, then this link applies:
