Bug Description

There are several issues with activiz.net's use of gccxml.

First, gccxml is now a wrapper around castxml. And castxml doesn't have an analog to --gccxml-compiler. So that option is causing an error and should be dropped.

Secondly, castxml generates looser xml than gccxml. In particular, for Converter and (some) Destructor elements, it leaves off the name= attribute. But cableswig (used by activiz.net to consume the xml) demands that they have name attributes.

So something needs to change there, but I'm not well versed enough to suggest what the right fix should be.

In the mean time, I'm going to ask the admin team to demote this from the release pocket to the proposed pocket, to avoid blocking the gcc5 transition.
