gpgme-1.8.0-gcc-4.patch

GpgME fails to build with GCC 4.9.x because of a few missing C++11 features in libstdc++ . Instead of using these features, we call their C equivalent.

This is unlikely to get accepted upstream, which will be the prerequisite for adding this patch to the ebuild. I can only recommend to make the upgrade to latest stable GCC sooner than later.

@crypto, should the ebuild check for min active gcc version instead?

Please attach your build.log and emerge --info.

I would consider that if it was a new compiler or even recent one... However, I do not see any reason to tweak ebuild that far into the past.

Please communicate with upstream.
