[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#461719: FTBFS with GCC 4.3: uses (removed) pre-iso c++ headers

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: semidef-oct
Version: 1:2003-5
Usertags: ftbfs-gcc-4.3

Your package fails to build with GCC 4.3.  Version 4.3 has not been
released yet but I'm building with a snapshot in order to find errors
and give people an advance warning.  In GCC 4.3, pre-iso c++ headers
will no longer be present, but your application makes use of them.

You can reproduce this problem with gcc-4.3 or gcc-snapshot from
unstable.
