I have been trying to build octave 0.74 on a sun 4 using g++ from the
gcc 2.5.7 distribution.  The cruft library is built OK
but errors are generated when building the octave library.

The section from a log of the make output immediately after building
libcruft.a is below.  Please E-mail me if this is a known problem!
