This patch > to Octave should fix this. I just compiled Octave, version 2.0.13.96 using egcs-1.1.2 and no patches on both a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 and a hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 machine. Octave 2.0.13.96 is a test release available at ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/test-releases/octave-2.0.13.96.tar.gz There are also bleeding edge releases like octave-2.1.13 in ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/bleeding-edge/ which might work with egcs as well. So, you might want to add this to the FAQ: Octave 2.0.13.96, a test release, has been compiled without patches by egcs 1.1.2.
