Nothing conclusive happened since then, but octave3.0 was getting built
and one octave3.0 build depending package was tried.

The bug (and the buildd) was stuck for quite some days on your input on
how to debug it...
We still don't know what caused it nor what fixed it, but it seems to be
fixed now, so I'm closing this bug and will give back all packages.

Probably the buildds got an upgraded toolchain.
