+Subject: [PATCH] amcl: fix compilation with gcc v7
+
+When building amcl with recent enough gcc v7 compilation fails with
+the error
+
+src/amcl/map/map_cspace.cpp: In function 'void enqueue(map_t*, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, std::priority_queue<CellData>&, CachedDistanceMap*, unsigned char*)':
+src/amcl/map/map_cspace.cpp:98:34: error: call of overloaded 'abs(unsigned int)' is ambiguous
+   unsigned int di = abs(i - src_i);
+
+Use `int abs(int)` flavour of the abs() function.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation/pull/587]
