[oi-dev] GCC 6 builds of oi-userland, missing dependencies and help for merging

[Aurélien Larcher]

I started doing build of oi-userland with GCC 6 in fresh zones to fix:
> 1) missing build dependencies
> 2) compilation issues
>
> I push things there:

Looking at my build zone after running overnight, 2100 packages are now
built and published with gcc 6.3.

> 3) I rebase on oi/hipster as PRs are merged.
