Patch forwarded upstream, thanks:
https://ogre3d.atlassian.net/browse/OGRE-313

As I said before, I don't think that it's useful to spend so much time
on pre-release versions and architectures badly supported and
stumbling on special cases several times during the process, when
probably nobody uses this package in these architectures.  If you (or
somebody else reading) has a personal interest in having this package
in these architectures immediately, please speak up.

Surely GCC 4.8 (and possibly 4.9) will be the default in Jessie
anyway, now that it's known that it'll be frozen only more than a year
for now, so I think that it's better to remove all of these special
cases altogether.

I will not commit more changes immediately, I will wait until they
finally release 1.9.0 (they said that it would take about a month).


Cheers.
