I'm getting up-to-date on the build process after some time offline.
The build for me currently fails when linking octave.dll with

.libs/liboctave_la-glob-match.o:glob-match.cc:(.text+0x6e8): undefined 
reference to `glob'
.libs/liboctave_la-glob-match.o:glob-match.cc:(.text+0x8a5): undefined 
reference to `globfree

I believe I read about Tatsuro reporting a similar error and it being 
resolved, so I'm confused now.
Looking at the build gnulib archive, I also see that the glob object 
file does not contain a 'glob' and 'globfree' symbol in the export table.
