Hi Sergei, 

Please provide more info:
Which gcc you are using? Which OS?

I have found later version of GCC to be very pedantic - so building octave 
failed, but I did succeed with earlier versions.

==========================================================================

OS is SUSE Linux, but it doesn't matter since practically everything is
self-built, including gcc-4.5.3.

I am most interested in getting rid of that error messages suppression
- it is impossible to debug this way.

Just look at this:

"
address@hidden:~/junk> grep /dev/null 
/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/build/octave-3.0.5/make.log | wc -l
0
address@hidden:~/junk> grep /dev/null 
/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/build/octave-3.4.2/make.log | wc -l
863
address@hidden:~/junk>  
".


Thanks,
  Sergei.
