Public bug reported:

The platform-api package currently has a build-dependency on g++-4.9.
This build-dependency is present because of the recommendations on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/cpp-11 about handling of C++11.

The C++11 ABI has now stabilized in gcc as of gcc 5; however, before we
can switch to gcc 5, we first need to be able to do rebuild tests of the
archive against this compiler.

To facilitate this, please drop the build-dependency on g++-4.9 from the
package in wily. 4.9 will remain the default until all transition issues
have been identified, so there is no risk of accidental ABI breakage
here anymore.

** Affects: platform-api (Ubuntu)
