Tobias Oberstein:

Not 100% positive if this is the right place to file issues for cpppypy (pls redirect me if not).

I am following http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/cppyy.html#installation to build cpppypy on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (desktop) using pypy-5.6 (portable).

This distro uses a gcc 5 toolchain by default, and the build fails with "Found GCC compiler with new ABI.  Cling does not support the GCC 5 ABI yet".

When using clang (pls see here https://github.com/oberstet/scratchbox/blob/master/cpp/capnproto/test1/Makefile#L5), the build fails with this https://gist.github.com/oberstet/1771d9142cf566c5a877de0df5500899

Right now I am building with gcc 4.9, which so far seems to work (https://github.com/oberstet/scratchbox/blob/master/cpp/capnproto/test1/Makefile#L17).

Goal: ultimately, I want to get captnproto working using C++ generated stubs auto exposed with cpppypy in pypy.
