Building examples fails

[BjoernLange]

I pulled the most recent version an now get the following error when building the examples:

[bjoern@bjoern-pc build]$ cmake .. -DINSTALL_PYTHON_INTERFACE=ON -DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=ON

Using -DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=OFF works fine.

Hm... i did not touch the examples for one month. You had the same version of it running.
Also, everything runs fine on my ubuntu.
Did you update some of the dependencies or maybe gcc? I found this error in conjunction with some gcc version problems.

I found a similar problem here:
iovisor/bcc#782
Added the same patch in a commit. It is a long shot and changes nothing for me but maybe it does work now for you. I would appreciate it if you could test it.

It works fine now, seems like my distro updated the compiler packages.
