430 if you are having trouble compiling Octave 2.9.6 with GCC 3.x.
431 After applying the patch, you'll need to run autogen.sh and configure
432 again. This means you'll need to have a recent version of
433 autoconf installed. Or, you can upgrade to GCC 4.x or you can wait for
434 2.9.7. So many options!
