***********configure.ac
1346: AC_CHECK_TYPES([dev_t, ino_t, nlink_t])

Parts of config.h produced
*****config.h
658 :/* Define to 1 if the system has the type `nlink_t'. */
659 :/* #undef HAVE_NLINK_T */

1415: /* Define to the type of st_nlink in struct stat, or a supertype. */
1416: #define nlink_t  int

1480: #if !defined(HAVE_NLINK_T)
1481: typedef short nlink_t;
1482: #endif

***********

I have still met the same error.
In file included from ../../../hg/octave-work/libcruft/misc/f77-extern.cc:25:
../config.h:1481: error: declaration does not declare anything


If I hack config.h 
1416: //#define nlink_t  int

f77-extern.cc can be complied.


Regards
