No big problems.

On Linux (Mageia-2 32b):
=====================
Summary:

  PASS     11517
  FAIL         0
  XFAIL        7
  SKIPPED      7


On Windows 7 (cross-built w. MXE) __run_test_suite__.m:
===========================================
  Summary:

  PASS     11350
  FAIL         0

On Windows I do get some error messages:
:
  libinterp\corefcn\det.cc-tst ........................... PASS    5/5
  libinterp\corefcn\dirfns.cc-tst ........................Warning:
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths:
C:/Users/Philip/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-9
 PASS    1/1
  libinterp\corefcn\dlmread.cc-tst ....................... PASS   20/20
:

and

:
  miscellaneous\bug_report.m ............................. PASS    1/1
  miscellaneous\bzip2.m ..................................Critical:
QFileSystemWatcher: FindNextChangeNotification failed!! (Access is denied.)
 PASS    1/1
:

That said, during normal operation of Octave I occasionally get more of
these QFileSystemWatcher errors. The message may claim "Critical" but
Octave's operation doesn't seem affected in any way.
It's just a bit undue noisy.


However, printing plots from fltk doesn't work OOTB:

>> plot ([1 ])
>> print ('tst.png', '-dpng')
warning: print.m: epstool binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
error: fltk: printing not available without gl2ps library
error: octave_base_value::matrix_value(): wrong type argument '<unknown
type>'
error: drawnow: A(I,J): row index out of bounds; value 1 out of bound 0
error: called from:
error:  
C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1-rc3\share\octave\3.8.1-rc3\m\plot\util\private\__fltk

error:  
C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1-rc3\share\octave\3.8.1-rc3\m\plot\util\print.m at
line 422, column 14

The "fltk: printing not available without gl2ps library" message is
intruiging:

>> octave_config_info("features").GL2PS_H
ans = 0

AFAIK gl2ps is included in MXE.
