octave-forge: configure dies in "mkoctfile": running that file on its 
own gives:

% ./mkoctfile -d conftest.cc
c++ -shared -o conftest.oct conftest.o
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_main
___eprintf

octave-2.1.34: I misremembered: it's the build that dies. I don't 
understand the first thing what the errors mean.

Btw, There is an OS X machine publically available at SourceForge, 
precisely for developers without access to a machine themselves.
