Details:

Building Octave with SuiteSparse-4.0.2 I still encounter the errors below
(during the link phase for liboctave)


Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_SuiteSparse_time", referenced from:
    _umfpack_tic in libumfpack.a(umfpack_gn_tictoc.o)
    _umfpack_toc in libumfpack.a(umfpack_gn_tictoc.o)


When building liboctave it is necessary to link to both libumfpack.a and
libSuiteSparse.dylib.  By manually editing the Makefile for liboctave and
addeding -lSuiteSparse to the UMFPACK_LIBS variable liboctave and octave are
able to build.  Running "make check" produced no new failures.

The proper place to fix this is in the configure script.  A simple test
program is needed.
