Error compiling Dolphin source in Ubuntu 16.10

[r2rX]

Hey all,

I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10. When attempting to compile the latest source of Dolphin, I encounter the following error:

Code:

You might want to try PR #4365 which attempts to address this issue. 16.10 made some changes in how the compiler infrastructure handles things, so we have to explicitly turn it off now.

That fixed it. Thanks for the pointer.
