Sorry off topic wrying but some relation might exist. 

I have finished to build octave-3.4.0 on MinGW.
I have carried out the fntests. The list of the results are

Integrated test scripts:

  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octavesrc\octave-3.4.0\src\data.cc  PASS  
615/617  FAIL 2
  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octavesrc\octave-3.4.0\src\dirfns.cc  PASS    
0/1    FAIL 1
  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octavesrc\octave-3.4.0\src\ov-fcn-handle.cc  
PASS    2/3    FAIL 1

Fixed test scripts:

  test_sparse.m .......................................... PASS 1202/1204 FAIL 2
  test_io.m .............................................. PASS   66/68   FAIL 2
  test_prefer.m .......................................... PASS   27/29   FAIL 2
  test_system.m .......................................... PASS   83/84   FAIL 1

Summary:

  PASS   6891
  FAIL     11

There was 1 expected failure (see fntests.log for details).

Expected failures are known bugs.  Please help improve Octave
by contributing fixes for them.

There were 11 skipped tests (see fntests.log for details).
Skipped tests are features that are disabled in this version of Octave
because the needed libraries were not present when Octave was built.

577 (of 892) .m files have no tests.

80 (of 146) .cc files have no tests.

Please help improve Octave by contributing tests for
these files (see the list in the file fntests.log).

# 
Compared to the fntests for default branch, number of the items in the fntests 
in 3.4 is larger tha
n that in the default source.

I would like report the fail results. I would like to register them octave bug 
tracker with labeling
to 3.4.0.  Is this OK?

Regards

Tatsuro
