Bug#802164: inkscape: FTBFS on hppa since switch to gcc-5

[Alex Valavanis]

Hi All,

Just a quick note that we're planning upstream to switch to require a
C++11 compliant compiler.  This is needed for compatibility with new
versions of the GNOME development libraries.  We'll hopefully switch
in time for Inkscape 0.92.

Best wishes,


Alex
