There are 5 different issues regarding this FTBFS and attempts to 
resolve it:

1. Changing the build dependencies doesn't change the compiler.
Adding g++-5 resulted in #835956, but when you don't tell the build
system of the software to use this compiler the default g++ is still
used.
This explains why that build dependency didn't help
(but point 2 is a better solution).

2. --std=gnu++98 fixes the C++ related build failure.

3. readdir_r() is deprecated in latest glibc.
This generates a new warning, and openjdk-8-jre-dcevm turns all warnings 
into errors by passing -Werror to the compiler.

4. Upstream uses CFLAGS instead of CXXFLAGS for C++
This is a bug somewhere in the upstream code,
using DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND didn't work.

5. I didn't encounter the original build failure due to missing jvmti.h
It seems the file from openjdk-8-jdk-headless was found successfully?


The following change gave me a successful build:
