I am also building Octave with "Cygnus gcc 2.95.2" and have had the
same "quad" problem in "builtins.cc" with all the recent "Bleeding
Edge" Octave Versions.

I have avoided the problem by expanding the first 

"XDEFUN_DLD_INTERNAL" in:-

"
  static void
install_quad_fcns (void)
{
 XDEFUN_DLD_INTERNAL (  quad  ,  args  ,  nargout  ,  0 ,
  "-*- texinfo -*-\n at deftypefn {Loadable Function}  ......
 
 XDEFUN_DLD_INTERNAL (  quad_options  ,     args  ,       ,   0 ,    
  "-*- texinfo -*-\n at deftypefn {Loadable Function}  ......
}
"

by hand after "builtins.cc" has been generated.

The second

"XDEFUN_DLD_INTERNAL (  quad_options  , ...."

has never given any problem and is translated successfully

As to why this problem only arises with "quad" and none of the others,
well ......


Best Regards,

Chris Kennedy.
