A static version of octave-2.1.64, compiled with the home built gcc-3.4.3 on 
Cygwin, runs as fast as versions compiled with gcc-3.2.2.  It has some 
"quirks" but useful timing tests can be done with it.

I have come to the conclusion that all the libraries used by octave will 
have to be rebuilt with this compiler to be completely viable.  However, it 
looks promising enough that I will give it a go over the next few weeks.
