Upgrading to gperf 3.0.1 solved the problem. I suppose that Makefile.in 
and aclocal.m4 should be updated to reflect the requirements, but that 
is not a problem for a snapshot.

Make check reports the following failures:
FAIL: octave.test/io/fopen-1.m
FAIL: octave.test/io/binary-io-1.m
FAIL: octave.test/string/num2str-1.m
FAIL: octave.test/string/deblank-1.m

No time to dig deeper right now :-(
