[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#749154: octave-miscellaneous: FTBFS with clang instead of gcc

[Alexander Ovchinnikov <sanek23994@gmail.com>]

Package: octave-miscellaneous
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: pkg-llvm-team@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: clang-ftbfs

Hello,

Using the rebuild infrastructure, your package fails to build with clang 
(instead of gcc).
See build logs here: http://clang.debian.net/logs/2014-01-14/octave-miscellaneous_1.2.0-2_unstable_clang.log

Thanks,
Alexander
