Hi,

A quick note to packages that build-depend on gccxml:

gccxml does not support GCC 5.  Moreover, upstream development has stopped
so
there is no prospect that it ever will.

Fortunately, they have released a successor, castxml, that should generate
gccxml-compatible output and be GCC 5 compatible.  Castxml is now in Debian
Sid so you may want to adjust your package.

I believe you can make the replacement:

        gccxml input_file.cc -fxml=output_file.xml
to      castxml --castxml-gccxml input_file.cc -o output_file.xml
