Okay, I've found time to take a closer look at this problem, and you're
right that it's related to configure. Specifically, it's related to a
buggy and unusable octave:
$ octave --version
Illegal instruction
$ octave -q -f <<EOF
> printf(octave_config_info("localfcnfilepath"));
> EOF
Illegal instruction
$
This results in files being installed to /usr instead of to
/usr/share/octave/site/m/.
Could this be related to an out-of-date lapack3 on alpha?
