call of overloaded ‘abs( ... ) is ambigous

[kneczaj]

When compiling MTF with Ubuntu 16.10 gcc version 6.2.0 20161005

a couple of following errors crashes the compilation process error: call of overloaded ‘abs(...)’ is ambiguous

The following patch fixes it:

To get exact errors I need to recompile the project without the patch.
