Dear Octave maintainer,

I am using gcc version 2.6.0 to compile octave-1.0, under Solaris2.3 and
having quite a bit of trouble in compiling the c++ files in the src 
directory. 

Firstly I have lots of warnings from g++ in any file which included Complex.h:

/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h:242: warning: `operator (unary *)(double, const Complex &)' was declared `extern' and later `static'
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h:107: warning: previous declaration of `operator (unary *)(double, const Complex &)'
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h: In function `double real(const class Complex &)':
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h:247: warning: `real(const Complex &)' was declared `extern' and later `static'
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h:109: warning: previous declaration of `real(const Complex &)'
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h: In function `double imag(const class Complex &)':
/tools/pub/lib/g++-include/Complex.h:252: warning: `imag(const Complex &)' was declared `extern' and later `static'

etc...

But I also get many fatals due to  duplicate default arguments given
for `class tree_constant get_user_input(const class tree_constant *,
int, int, int = 0)' one in the .h file one in the implementation file.


You were surely using a different compiler from me, as there too many
cases of this to fix by hand?!

Any hints would be appreciated.
