| Compilation failed here too near the end.  The patch hasn't quite worked

| mv numeric/Quad-opts.h-t numeric/Quad-opts.h

I checked in the following change (same as I posted earlier except
for the added commit message):

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/dd794aa84232

I don't know why you are seeing the failure.  It works for me when
building in a clean directory tree.
