Thanks to Brian Dessent for pointing out a packaging problem with the compiler and a workaround: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00620.html . The build is successful, but several of the tests executed during "make check" issue error messages like the following: Running /home/dad/sources/octave/octave-2.1.73/test/octave.test/quad/quad.exp ... 102 [main] octave 1252 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x80, errno 11 Interestingly, none of these tests actually fail in the summary report. The only hits I get with Google on this error message ["died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0"] relate to relatively recent issues with the cygwin dll. I'm not sure how to classify this issue, i.e. whether it is a cygwin issue, a compiler issue, or an octave issue. Also I'm not sure how serious it is, since the tests it occurred on appeared to complete successfully. Any help with analysis of these questions would be appreciated.
