Are you able to build 3.8.2 and 4.0.3 with gcc 6 or are you still
running gcc 5?

I ask because I'm currently trying to build and benchmark the last 5
releases in docker but currently struggle to build 3.8.2 with gcc 6.3.0

I've found two postings on the mailinglist

Subject: Major issues with g++ 6 and gnulib

Subject: Octave 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 do not build on fc24 (gcc-6.1.1)
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2016 00:13:28 +1000

and the suggestion was to use gcc 5 for Octave <= 4.0
