| I tried to compile Octave (2.1.13) with a new-built gcc-2.95.2.
| gcc     : version 2.95.2, i686-pc-linux-gnu (native host), residing in /usr/local, first in PATH,
|           full distribution (libstdc++ included), compiled without problems (make bootstrap)
| binutils: version  2.9.1, i686-pc-linux-gnu (native host), residing in /usr/local, first in PATH
| uname -a: Linux Merlin 2.2.5 #2 Sat Dec 4 00:34:02 CET 1999 i686 unknown

| 1. The compilation of file liboctave/idx-vector.cc (gcc-2.95.2, octave-2.1.13)
| was interrupted by an error about mistyping: int (*)(const void*,const void*)-argument
| at line 469 in file idx-vector.cc.
| A cast shouldn't do any harm and solved the problem.


| 2. During the last compilation step:
| 
| c++  -I. -I/root/MathsPlotting/Octave/src/octave-2.1.13.src-i686-2.95.2-make-bootstrap/src -I.. ...\

| octave.o builtins.oops.o ... svd.o  syl.o  time.o \
| -L../liboctave -L../libcruft -L../src -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker ... -lm\
| 
| the following error occurs (see appendix A1 for more detailed description):
| 
| ../liboctave/liboctave.so: undefined reference to `void subtract_vs<complex<double>, double, complex<double> >(complex<double> *, double const *, unsigned int, complex<double>)'
| ../liboctave/liboctave.so: undefined reference to `void multiply_sv<complex<double>, double, complex<double> >(complex<double> *, double, complex<double> const *, unsigned int)'

| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
| make[2]: *** [octave] Error 1
| make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/MathsPlotting/Octave/src/octave-2.1.13.src-i686-2.95.2-make-bootstrap/src'

2.1.13 is pretty old now.  Try the most recent bleeding-edge version.
