Hi,

During a test rebuild of HDF5's reverse dependencies against HDF5 2.1.0
currently in experimental, scilab FTBFS because its build toolchain
doesn't support this new major release.

The attached patch is a workaround for this issue and supports both
HDF5 1.14.6 in unstable and HDF5 2.1.0 in experimental.

Best,
_g.
