Bug Description

repsnapper currently FTBFS on Yakkety with the message "replace abs() with std::abs() for gcc6 compatibility".

Building with GCC 6 fails with "call of overloaded ‘abs(double)’ is ambiguous" - for some reason only on PowerPC and PPC64.

Relying on SF forum because for some reason I'm not allowed to create a ticket there.

While this patch fixes the GCC 6 FTBFS, the ppc64el/powerpc build fails later on due to bug 1619100.
