I have made a fix to the code but haven't tested it yet on all compilers.
There is one other problem that gives a lot of warnings with
some compilers that I am still trying to understand.
One wants to switch to C++14 if one possibly can.
What do I need to do when I am satisfied with the updated version?

What broke the build is that gcc 6 changed the default C++ standard
from C++98 to C++14.
Not all valid C++98 code is also valid C++11 and C++14 code.
Note that this just changed the default, when told to process C++98 code
gcc 6 does not differ in any significant way from gcc 5.
Making the code compatible with C++14 would be the best possible
solution, but as a workaround it is possible to fix the build with
this change to tell gcc that this is C++98 code.
CXXFLAGS set in debian/rules were not used at all, this is also fixed.
