| I just tried 2.1.49 and it compiles with no errors. My machine is a PII-350.
| Usage:
|   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/oct2149-test/ --enable-static=no 
--enable-shared=yes
|   make
|   make install
| 
| However running it gives
|  octave-2.1.49.exe - Entry Point Not Found:
|  The procedure entry point dgecon_ could not be located in the dynamic
|    link library libcruft.dll
| 
| However, by modifying liboctave/dMatrix.cc to stub out the function

|       int F77_FUNC (dgecon, DGECON) (const char*, const int&, double*,
|                                      const int&, const double&, double&,
|                                      double*, int*, int&);
|     #else
|       int dgecon_                   (const char*, const int&, double*,

|       { exit (42); }
|     #endif

There is a dgecon.f in libcruft/lapack, so what lapack are you using?
If it is something other than the files included with Octave, then I'd
guess that it is incomplete.

FWIW, I built 2.1.49 on a Windows system without any problems using

  configure --enable-shared --disable-static
