This patch is not enough. The build still fails, with this error message:

I could not find a fix for this compilation issue in the upstream 
Mercurial repository.

This patch does not applies cleanly to the current package.  I fixed the
problem by taking the tip of the upstream Mercurial repository at
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/tisean/ci/default/tree/.

Uploaded.
