Did you notice the configure warning about the --enable-64 option?
Are you sure you want to use --enable-64?  If so, then you'll need to
ensure that all numerical libraries that you are using are built to be
compatible with the 64-byte indexing that Octave expects.

Have you tried building without --enable-64?
