[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54235] problems building Octave on Solaris

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #166, bug #54235 (project octave):

I pushed a fix for the fonconfig problem on stable and merged with default:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/19eba00c0c7d

Then I started over with a tar file built from the current stable sources and
the fortran integer detection worked properly.  The build seems to have
worked, but make check now fails with the same problem as shown in comment
#125:

That turns out to be due to the system uname function returning a non-zero
exit status that is positive and we were only checking for negative values. 
Fixed here and merged to default:
