Ok, then configure.in should be adapted to not allow 2.96. Modifying
it to read

case "$gxx_version" in
  1.* | 2.[[012345678]].*)
    AC_MSG_ERROR([g++ version $gxx_version will probably fail to compile Octave]
)
  ;;
  2.9*)
    warn_gxx_version="g++ version $gxx_version is likely to cause problems"
    AC_MSG_WARN($warn_gxx_version)
  ;;
esac

will at least let people know there are a problems...

Cheers
David
