Comment (by michaelld@…):

 I think the basic issue here is that more recent GCC versions (e.g., 4.7.3
 versus 4.7.0) change the default flags being used for compiling (e.g., not
 using "-fpermissive"). The newer GCC is catching some -potential- issues,
 but mainly it is just more picky about C/C++ syntax and grammar. A few
 generic tweaks should do the trick. That said, given the lack of "cc me's"
 on this ticket, I wonder if anyone really uses the octave port any longer?
 Given how robust and current octave-devel is, do we really need this
 version of octave still around? Anyway, I'll check in some fixes later
 today once it all works.
