Bug#1129089: freecad FTBFS on arm64 with netgen 6.2.2601

[Tobias Frost]

Control: severity -1 important
Control: retitle -1 "netgen: causes FTBFS 'error: cannot convert ‘__Int64x2_t’ to ‘uint64x2_t’'"

Hi Francesco,

the workardound makes freecad compile again :) A big thanks for the
pointer! 

So I guess we can reduce the seveity on this bug. 
(I'm renaming the bug title so if somone else runs into this issue can
find the workaround too.)

I'll prepare the freecad update then :)
