This problem should be fixed in 2.1.71.  If you want to stick with
2.1.70, then I think fix is simple.   Just remove -lglob from the
Makefile where it occurs and run make again.

Looks like a problem with the dynamic loader not being able to find
libraries.  Are they installed?  Maybe you need to do some additional
configuration?  BTW, what is PSOctave2170?
