This compiles fine for me now.

Also, it is fast. I don't know what happened to make 2.1.42 slow
$ time echo "1+1;" | /usr/local/oct2143-test/bin/octave -q
real    0m1.376s

Minor Bug#2. The files lib*.dll.a.* cannot be
stripped for cygwin. Doing so will prevent
mkoctfile from linking.
Currently make install-strip will do this.

FILES:
octave-2.1.43/libcruft.dll.a.2.1.43
lib/octave-2.1.43/liboctave.dll.a.2.1.43
lib/octave-2.1.43/liboctinterp.dll.a.2.1.43
