I looked into the src/configure file of octave-octcdf.  There is
nothing in it that would add explicitly the -mieee option.  It seems
to appear from "mkoctfile -p CPPFLAGS", which does not introduce the
-mieee on my system, but this may be different on alpha.  This is what
I get on my i386 system:

    $ grep CPPFLAGS $(which mkoctfile) | grep ^:
    : ${CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"}

Could anyone do the same on an alpha system?
