Hi all,

I don't have much expertise with MSVC, but I'm trying to build
pyviennacl, and I've got a couple of weird bugs. I've looked at the
source, but really have no idea what it's complaining about. Why can't
it resolve the type ambiguity here?

4>F:/src/viennacl/pyviennacl-dev/external/viennacl-dev\viennacl/linalg/bicgstab.hpp(149):
 error C2668: 'fabs' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
4>          E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\INCLUDE\math.h(118): could be 
'double fabs(double)'
4>          E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\INCLUDE\math.h(516): or       
'float fabs(float)'
4>          E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\INCLUDE\math.h(564): or       
'long double fabs(long double)'
4>          while trying to match the argument list '(CPU_ScalarType)'


And here, I wish I knew what class it actually thinks its assigning..

4>F:/src/viennacl/pyviennacl-dev/external/viennacl-dev\viennacl/linalg/bicgstab.hpp(125):
 error C2088: '-=' : illegal for class

Does the following patch suffice? The code now builds with only the error
above, and I imagine the effect should be the same.
