Building Octave on Alpha Linux..

[Steve Hubbell]

I have built Octave on a Alpha based machine running a stock Redhat
5.1 configuration.   While the build seemed to work okay, the "make
check" is showing some serious problems.

Any suggestions on where to begin debugging this?  Is anyone running
Octave on an Alpha/Linux setup?
