arm gcc 7 abi transition

As of June 2017 with GCC 6, some packages fail autopkgtests on armhf only, due to notes output to stderr similar to the following: note: parameter passing for argument of type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const double*, std::vector<double> >’ will change in GCC 7.1

See: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728

Since the release of GCC 7.1, the wording of the notes changed slightly: note: parameter passing for argument of type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const double*, std::vector<double> >’ changed in GCC 7.1

Affected packages:

  • glbinding
  • globjects
  • ciftilib
  • fast5
  • shark
  • viennacl
  • mathic
  • mathicgb
  • memtailor
  • givaro
  • primesieve

Workaround: add the following to debian/tests/control:
Restrictions: allow-stderr
