Addition to EGCS FAQ Octave entry



The FAQ at <http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#octave> says:
> Octave 2.0.13 does not compile
> Apparently Octave 2.0.13 uses some C++ features which have been
> obsoleted and thus fails to build with egcs-1.1 and later. This patch
> to Octave should fix this.

I just compiled Octave, version 2.0.13.96 using egcs-1.1.2 and no
patches on both a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 and a hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
machine. Octave 2.0.13.96 is a test release available at
  ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/test-releases/octave-2.0.13.96.tar.gz
There are also bleeding edge releases like octave-2.1.13 in 
  ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/bleeding-edge/
which might work with egcs as well.

So, you might want to add this to the FAQ:

  Octave 2.0.13.96, a test release, has been compiled without patches by 
  egcs 1.1.2.  It is available at
  ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/test-releases/
