Update: I followed the Readme's directions, except for (1) compiling pcre
without the arch flags (configure crapped out with the specified 
parameters) and
(2) building and using my own latest gcc/ gfortran.

I built without a hitch, but I get a bus error when I try to 
./run_octave (after
a fairly long startup).  This is probably from pcre, which 
I will try fixing later.

Right now I am building again, having run configure using a 
lot of "without" and
"disable" arguments.  completely unsystematic, but whatever.

I will apply the veclib patch, make sure debugging symbols 
are in place, and try
again this weekend and upcoming week.

Tx for the help and the great product, even if building 
it is a little difficult...
