I assume that you are referring to the Linux binary that was
originally on ftp.che.utexas.edu.  If so, the fact that those
functions were missing was a bug in the binary distribution.  It has
since been rebuilt and a new copy of the binary distribution is now
available.  Though I am unable to test it, it appears to have these
functions (HAVE_ERF, HAVE_ERFC, and HAVE_LGAMMA are all listed in the
octave-bug script as being defined).

If you need these functions with the Linux version of Octave, please
get a newer version of the binary distribution from
ftp.che.utexas.edu.

Thanks,
