This is unimportant for running Octave, since it is just a problem
with creating the liboctave.info file.

What arguments did you use when you ran configure?  Probably you want
to use

  ./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl

You may also need to add -rdynamic to the arguments used to link
Octave.  For compilers that understand -rdyanmic, the next version of
Octave will use that option automatically.
