The problem is that the strip option is conflicting with OS X.
Comment it out in mkoctfile (see archives for a previous discussion)

Remember to switch to gcc2 since fink installs octave compiled with gcc  
2.95. Use "sudo gcc_select 2" to change compiler. See "gcc_select -h"  
for info on the script.

Some time ago I contributed a fink package for octave-forge available at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=585392&group_id=17203&atid=414256

It is intended for OS X 10.1.x so you still need to switch compiler or  
edit the .info file to make fink swith for you. See fink docs for more  
info, it should only be a matter of adding a flag.

I'll be away for two weeks, so I can't help you any further but there  
are probably people here or on the fink lists that can assist you.

Good luck,
Per
