octave won't compile under gcc 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

[Hartmut Wziontek]

Hello,    
    
While I had no problems with the compilation of 2.9.12 under gcc 4.0.2, 
under gcc 3.3.5 (SuSE 9.3) it hangs here:

pt-loop.cc: In member function `virtual void tree_simple_for_command::eval()':
pt-loop.cc:428: error: variable declaration is not allowed here
pt-loop.cc:428: Warnung: the address of `octave_value val()', will always be 
   `true'
pt-loop.cc:437: error: variable declaration is not allowed here
pt-loop.cc:437: Warnung: the address of `octave_value val()', will always be 
   `true'
pt-loop.cc:467: error: variable declaration is not allowed here
pt-loop.cc:467: Warnung: the address of `octave_value val()', will always be 
   `true'
make[2]: *** [pic/pt-loop.o] Fehler 1
make[1]: *** [src] Fehler 2
make: *** [all] Fehler 2

It seems that something in the macro DO_ND_LOOP isn't compatible with 
c++ libs from gcc 3.3.5, but I have no idea what to change - can any
body give me a hint? Can I avoid upgrading gcc?

Many thanks

Hartmut
