Too bad :<.  Did you submit bugs to the gcc or Debian BTS (I looked
rapidly and did not find a relevant bug) ?  If yes, could you please
provide bug numbers ?

4.0.2 RC1 should be out this week-end.  Hopefully we'll soon have
updated Debian packages to test octave with...

g++ 3.4 could also be used as a fallback since it is ABI-compatible with
g++ 4.0.

I am currently trying an octave package rebuild with the latest g++ 3.4
and 4.0 available in Debian.  Is the test suite integrated in the
package build ?
