I've tried compiling Octave 2.0.10 under SunOS 4.1.3 using gcc 2.8.0 (with
CFLAGS=CXXFLAGS=-O3) and the latest f2c.  Everything went well until
src/sighandlers.cc.  The command

c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../glob -I../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -O3 sighandlers.cc

gave the following result:

sighandlers.cc: In function `void my_friendly_exit(const char *, int)':
sighandlers.cc:114: passing `void (*)()' as argument 2 of `octave_set_signal_handler(int, void (*)(int))'
sighandlers.cc: In function `void (* octave_set_signal_handler(int, void (*)(int)))(int)':
sighandlers.cc:154: assignment to `void (*)()' from `void (*)(int)'
sighandlers.cc:159: return to `void (*)(int)' from `void (*)()'
sighandlers.cc: In function `struct octave_interrupt_handler octave_ignore_interrupts()':
sighandlers.cc:324: passing `void (*)()' as argument 2 of `octave_set_signal_handler(int, void (*)(int))'
sighandlers.cc: In function `void install_signal_handlers()':
sighandlers.cc:408: passing `void (*)()' as argument 2 of `octave_set_signal_handler(int, void (*)(int))'
sighandlers.cc:448: passing `void (*)()' as argument 2 of `octave_set_signal_handler(int, void (*)(int))'

Any ideas on what it is about this file that is causing gcc to choke?

Sincerely,
