If nobody steps forward, I will give it a try over the weekend.

Ehm, you are aware that octave-forge is part of the current hdf5
transition? Which means we can prepare the update, but the actual upload
shouldn't happen before somewhen next week.

Will do.

This one is UPSTREAM; David Bateman is aware of it (it's in his part of
the code), but currently hasn't gcc-4.1 available. I've just sent him a
link to the log.

This is probably WONTFIX. The sparse code has been integrated into
Octave 2.9, so I don't expect an upstream fix for octave-forge. And
David has clearly stated that it was too much work for octave-forge.
Unless you object, I will tag the bugs accordingly.

So should I try the octave-forge build for 2.1 or 2.9?
