When trying to compile Blender (trunk) with new gcc-4.7, it fails with
following message:

[ 68%] Building CXX object

So it appears that in the stddef.h's line

#if (defined (__STDC_VERSION__) && __STDC_VERSION__ >= 201112L) \
  || (defined(__cplusplus) && __cplusplus >= 201103L)

…when __cplusplus is not defined, that code is wrong (I guess…)???

Anyway, I can’t build Blender’s GE currently :)

Notes:
*I’m using Debian testing package (4.7.0-1)
*Other people have encountered the same problem with various distributions (see
