Comment (by michaelld@…):

 Because all of the octave modules use 'mkoctfile', which in turn uses
 whichever GCC4X compiler suite chosen in the Octave port, each octave
 module should also depend on same version of GCC4X (not as a variant; just
 the same version as Octave). Maybe octave-tsa's GCC dependency is more
 direct than for other octave modules?

 There's a simple way to "hack" in this requirement into the octave-1.0
 PortGroup, but I'm not sure how robust it is (diff attached) -- for
 example, if g95 is used as the Fortran compiler instead of GCC4X ... no
 idea what happens in that case. Anyway, this issue will require some
 investigation and quite a bit of testing to get working, I think.
