I also get the same problem. It's because gnulib #define's fnmatch as
posix_fnmatch.You have to use DEFUNX to declare fnmatch function
in octave's code.

I also get that, with BLAS/LAPACK compiled with f2c.

Regarding the 2 patches your sent:
1) shouldn't "isatty" comes with gnulib header? as in shouldn't
gnulib headers include io.h?
2) shouldn't building C++ version of the octave scripts be done in
the automake way, using bin_PROGRAMS variable
