Robert,

It may be of little consolation to you, but I have built octave-2.1.55 and 
octave-forge
on Solaris 8 with just a few little problems.
E.g.:

octave:1> which randn
randn is the dynamically-linked function from the file
/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.55/site/oct/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/octave-forge/randn.oct
octave:2> tic; randn(128); toc
ans = 0.090327

>>>>

Make sure that after you re-build and installed octave, you do configure
on a freshly un-tarred octave-forge (or do 'make distclean ; ./configure')
so it does not have stale makefiles for the older octave.

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
