Research direction

Start by reviewing test/include/catch.hpp around lines 6392–6466 and reproducing the Debian build command for test/t/issue122.cpp or test/unit.cpp. Compare the failure with the linked Debian build log; done means the affected test sources compile successfully under the reported C++11 build flags.
