Nothing looks suspicious in the above. Though I didn't see a reason
anymore why this configuration should matter I've compiled Octave with
the same configuration now and could not reproduce the segfault. I
have no further ideas at the moment. As I said, it looks as if the
segfault happens when a function of Octave is called during loading of
the packages oct-files which actually should only be called for static
initialization at start of Octave.
