So, I found that a solution to the problem is using the fink GCC 4.2 
compiler, rather than the Apple Xcode version of GCC.  I have absolutely 
no idea why this is the case.  Just to make sure that was the culprit, I 
compiled octave again using Apple Xcode tools and it failed again.  
Since no one else seems to have had this problem (yet!), I am still 
assuming it is something strange with how I have fink set up, or some 
other configuration problem on my part.
