Well, I built octave-2.1.63 last night, under Cygwin and with gcc-3.3.1.

Like Fabian, I see some failures: 10 in my case but overlapping entirely 
with the failures that Fabian had-

eval-catch-1 , 2 , 8 & 9
eval-2
global-4
prefer-25
try-8 & 9
while-1

I tried each of them by copying and pasting into the console.  In all cases, 
I could not see any difference between the output and the expected output, 
in the associated .exp file.   The common factor is the use of  "$" in the 
expected string (It should be
"€"?).



It looks to me like a Cygwin/Dejagnu funny but I will investigate further 
tonight.



I cannot see any reason why Fabian saw failures, where I did not; eg. in 
/contin/

PS By the way, thus far octave-2.1.63 works fine!!
