The workaround is to set the kernel.yama.ptrace_scope prctl (there is also some /proc path, probably /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope) to 1. If that solves your problem, then it is the same "bug" (more precisely, an incompatibility of the Ubuntu kernel).
The gcc-4.7 requirement is, I'm afraid, an actual one. Fakeroot-ng 0.18 is written in C++11, and that is the earliest version of gcc that supports enough of the standard to compile it. If there are other C++ compilers in your version (llvm? I do not run Ubuntu, so I simply don't know), one of them might work.
