I get the same on openSUSE 11.4 and openSUSE 12.1 (both 64 bit)
due to HAVE_UMFPACK, HAVE_CHOLMOD ...
whereas the libraries are there and the tests were not skipped and passed 
without error with  the last snapshot.
I have to look into that tomorrow.

Summary:

  PASS  10090
  FAIL      0

There were 2 expected failures (see fntests.log for details).

Expected failures are known bugs.  Please help improve Octave
by contributing fixes for them.

There were 50 skipped tests (see fntests.log for details).
Skipped tests are features that are disabled in this version of Octave
because the needed libraries were not present when Octave was built.
