Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for your detailed bug report.

You are unconditionally #including what looks like an old version of FLTK
whose declarations conflict with the OS declarations, hence the build error.
Manually specifying #include directories with -I instead of using --with-fltk=
statements can lead to such problems. I am unable to determine the exact
version of fltk that you're using, but it appears to be 1.0? 1.1 is needed.
However, even if you find the right fltk version, it would be problematic, due
to bug #42596.

I don't consider your build problem an Octave bug. If you want to build Octave
on Mac OS X, a less error-prone way is to use homeports or macbrew.
