Comment (by roberthuston@…):

 This looks to be an recurring issue with the gnulib files. There was a
 problem a couple of years ago with building octave 3.8.0 on Mountain Lion
 (http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Building-3-8-0-on-Mountain-
 Lion-10-8-5-td4660795.html). The solution was to disable the lines

 {{{
 /* It is very rare that the developer ever has full control of stdin,
    so any use of gets warrants an unconditional warning; besides, C11
    removed it.  */
 #undef gets
 #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETS
 _GL_WARN_ON_USE (gets, "gets is a security hole - use fgets instead");
 #endif
 }}}

 in the file {{{libgnu/stdio.in.h}}} of the MacPorts Octave build
 directory, which for this version is:

 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave/octave/work/octave-4.0.2

 Once I made this local edit, I was able to resume my build and get Octave
 running.

 I'm assuming that the Portfile might need to make a local patch to
 stdio.in.h as a permanent solution, but this should work for now.
