The above package can't be built with GCC 5.1.0.

There is no problem when it is compiled with GCC 4.9.2

Use "-std=gnu89" cflag (old default). New default is gnu11.

Please note that gccxml has been abandoned in favour of castxml:

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2015-12-25 11:23:37 UTC]

wasn't this caused by missing emerge -e world after gcc5 update?

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2016-01-12 17:01:37 UTC]

most likely due to change in default standard.  this package looks like a snapshot of older gcc, so you can probably workaround it by adding to the ebuild:
  append-flags -std=gnu89

[Comment 7 David Seifert 2016-04-02 21:25:01 UTC]

I've committed the usual gnu89 inline fix. I'm closing the bug, as the fix can't be upstreamed and the issue is solved for Gentoo.
