[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54217] Build fails with error: call of overloaded ‘pow(int,int)’ is ambiguous

[Michele]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #54217 (project octave):

Thanks very much.  I'll try that (once I figure out how to use diff).  I'm
looking at the two offending lines in __betainc__.cc right now.

Meanwhile, it looks like I'm not alone.  I've been reading this:
https://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/727736-ambiguous-call-pow

where this same problem seems to have engendered some heated discussion. 
Would simply changing line 80:

 static const float tiny = pow (2, -50);

to 

 static const float tiny = int pow (2, -50);

work?
