Hi, debian/unstable has gcc 4.7, and the C++ compiler enforces the C++11 norm. That means a few things which compiled well before just error out.
The sage project has a list of problems which could be of interest : http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12751 notice though that the patches they have might be dirty (adding -fpermissive isn't a fix, it's a workaround, and it doesn't solve everything), and they only seldom get sent upstream. In particular, givaro compiles ok, but it's examples don't compile and its headers break other packages (linbox)! Fortunately, upstream just got version 3.6.0 yesterday. I discussed the matter with Felix Salfelder since I knew he was working on that package :-) I open that thread to raise the issue more publicly so all affected packages are uncovered and dealt with.
