Bug#835940: Maybe we will have to file RM requests against CUDA rdeps

Hi,

CUDA 7.5 / 8.0~RC just works fine with GCC-5, however bad with GCC-6.

Some useful information from ArchLinux community:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49272
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4iczja/a_work_around_if_you_are_using_cuda_and_have/

There is a workaround which makes C++ standards falling back to c++98,
but upstream sources written in C++11 would suffer. Besides, C++11 code
compiles with the CUDA+GCC-5 combination.

Maybe we will have to file RM requests against all the CUDA reverse
dependencies,
and in the future introduce them back via backports when CUDA works with GCC-6.
This can be confirmed as long as CUDA8.0 were released, with the
releasing date being unknown.
