some years ago (how time flies) someone pushed a patch for R (upstream)
to stop using nan-with-payload for na. it looks like octave also needs
such a change for architectures which support only canonical nans.
such as riscv. (and mips?)
the respective licenses (2or3 -> 3) would permit any octave patch to
borrow from how R now handles na.
