Package: octave3.2
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: serious

Heya,

It looks like octave3.2 is hitting a ld bug:
| g++ -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,liboctinterp.so -o liboctinterp.so [...]
| /usr/bin/ld: non-dynamic relocations refer to dynamic symbol ceil(std::complex<float> const&)
| /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[From https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=octave3.2;ver=3.2.4-2;arch=mipsel;stamp=1266531285]

This seems to be due to a binutils bug in ld, filed here:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10144

It looks like building without -g might work around the problem, so removing
the -dbg packages for mips* might be an option for now.

Marc
