Here is my stand-alone recipe:

cat >> stand.cc
#include <octave/oct.h>
main(){ ColumnVector dx (3); }
^D

cc -c stand.cc -I/usr/local/include/octave-2.1.31/octave/
cc stand.o -L/usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.31 -loctave -loctinterp ŠÜ
   -ldl -lcruft -lstdc++ -lg2c -ltermcap ŠÜ
   -L/usr/src/octave-2.1.31/kpathsea -lkpathsea ŠÜ
   -L/usr/src/octave-2.1.31/readline -lreadline

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.31
./a.out
strip ./a.out 
ls -l ./a.out 
-rwxrwxr-x    1 andy     andy       172896 Oct 16 22:44 ./a.out



As far as I know, you do need to link to 
kpathsea and readline.
