Until gcc-defaults is changed to point to gcc-6, you would need to build
with CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6 F77=gfortran-6.

The upstream hg repo now builds against HDF5 1.10, I have successfully
built it against both gcc-6/unstable and hdf5/experimental.

FTR, building against GCC 6 is expected to work with rev aab79a1885cc or
later, and against HDF5 1.10 with rev 5c949eecb6dd or later.
