After updating gnulib in the Octave sources, I started seeing the
following error:
In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.7/cstdlib:66:0,

../libgnu/stdlib.h:1098:1: error: invalid conversion from 'char* (*)(const
char*)' to 'int (*)(const char*)' [-fpermissive]
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
