Openscad doesn't build against cgal-6_beta

[szatox]

I did a bit of digging, and it looks like openscad's ebuild uses cpp 14 feature set (gcc called with -std=c++1y), and cgal-6 requires cpp 17 for its includes to work.
Not sure what do to about it, but at least for now cgal-5 is still in portage and is listed as a valid dependency for openscad, so adding 6 to package.mask solves the immediate issue.

Just leaving it here for other people who've run into issues updating their systems with freecad installed.

Confirming this. Would this go in as a bug report?

[szatox]

Well, it turns out it has been found and reported almost 3 months ago already (and yet, somehow, I didn't find it... )
https://bugs.gentoo.org/936652

Someone even posted a patch which should let the new versions build properly.
