If you look at the top of config.h.in from any Octave source
distribution, you will find

  /* config.h.in.  Generated automatically from configure.in by autoheader.  */

Since this is a file that can be automatically generated, it is not
included in the CVS archive.

I don't think there is anything wrong with residue, but the test may
need to relax the standard for accuracy.

So, does your config.h define CXX_NEW_FRIEND_TEMPLATE_DECL?  I think
the messages you are seeing are normal given the way the test is written.

BTW, the octave-maintainers mailing list is a better place to discuss
problems with the CVS sources.

Thanks,
