I have been looking at the build issue with Wheezy and I hope to have
it fixed soon.  Currently the latest machinekit/master (with all the
new multicore code) builds fine on Wheezy if you use the native
gcc-4.7 compiler available in wheezy-backports (this compiler has been
a requirement for a while).  The problem is specific to our Docker
mk-build images that do the package building.  These machines have to
use a cross-compiler for speed (or the builds don't complete in the
allotted time for free Travis-CI) but due to assorted bad luck:

...we don't have a proper gcc-4.7 cross tool chain and are using
gcc-4.9.  The build issue is a bit of missing c++ abi that got added
and 4.9 is expecting to use but the 4.7 libraries we have to link with
don't have the new function (__cxa_throw_bad_array_new_length).

I hope to have this sorted and all package builds back to normal soon.

...but you should still consider upgrading to Jessie.  ;-)
