This turns out to be a toolchain issue; using gcc-4.1 and friends, it works
in qemu. I suppose this is related to #467503 (the bug symptoms under
gdb are pretty much the same).

So, that's the good news. The bad news is that octave3.0 build failed on
europa with an ICE. 

Sigh, and all this with the knowledge that probably no real person uses
Octave and friends on ARM.
