Octave 3.8.0-rc1: compilation error and make check error

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hello:

I performed two compilations:

1- Intel Core i5 64 bit box running Debian

All runs fine. In the make check step I've obtained a fail in
bug-38236.tst. Inspecting the test/fntests.log file one can read:

>>>>> processing bug-38236.tst
  ***** test
 u_vr
!!!!! test failed
'vr' undefined near line 1 column 36

2- Pentium M 32 bit laptop running Debian, in which I always compile
other versions:

The configure step works without problems, but during make I've obtained:

libtool: compile:  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..

The libinterp/version.h file is apparently well generated (see the
attached copy), so I don't know the reason of the error

Best regards
