Details:

The changes to save and restore the user compiler flags aren't working quite
right with FFLAGS.

One problem is that FFLAGS is saved way too early, before the defaults are set
and the compiler detected. If FFLAGS is not given to configure by the user, it
will always be empty.

Another problem is that there is no XTRA_FFLAGS. A few flags may have been
added to FFLAGS in previous versions of Octave, such as -mieee or -ff2c. I
think these will now be discarded at the end of configure. It might not be too
hard to introduce an XTRA_FFLAGS variable to handle these for the liboctave
directory.

I'll take a look at this if jwe or rik don't beat me too it.
