Indeed, but the submitter appears to be trying to build 0.6.6 in
squeeze anyway.  From the original report:

Which is not something I have yet investigated.  In theory, provided
the more recent apt libraries are used (and these build-depends
corrected) a backport to squeeze should be fine.

Also, the suggested patch of using gmock-config (which is only
available in squeeze) fails to build in testing, unstable.  A clean
patch that compiles with both old and more recent gmock should be
possible.
