I also have libopenblas-base installed and configured as the default
libblas.so.3.

Do you also have libopenblas-dev installed and configured to provide
libblas.so?

FWIW, I always build with --with-blas=blas. This builds Octave against
the libblas.so symlink (which is the reference BLAS on my system), but
at runtime it uses the configured libblas.so.3 which is OpenBLAS.

I have not yet tried building with libopenblas-dev installed, but I will
try if I get a chance.

The exact error message from config.log is often more useful than just
what configure puts out on stdout.
