Details:

I tried to install the Parallel tool box using 

pkg install -verbose -forge parallel


The package fails to build on when checking for "uname":


checking for uname... no
configure: error: required system functions not found


I'm on Windows 10. I know the octave uname command has had troubles in my
current version of Octave (see bug #51830), but I think this is checking for a
c version of the function.
