Unsure if this is the right place to bring out code problems, but I am getting this failure when compiling from devcoin master:

Apparently this is a know issue with Ubuntu 16.04. Per
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6113#issuecomment-298234393 - I made the change, and the code is compiling fine now.
Anyone who is a dev who can get this into the code base? It seems like a trivial change.
