I've got the full build log now.  It just confirms that hdf5 was not
found and therefore not built against:

checking hdf5.h usability... no
checking hdf5.h presence... no
checking for hdf5.h... no
configure: WARNING: HDF5 library not found.  Octave will not be able to
save or load HDF5 data files.

It is weird, since libhdf5-openmpi-dev is installed and does supply
hdf5.h:
$ ls -l /usr/include/hdf5.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2655 Mar  8  2012 /usr/include/hdf5.h

I guess that's another reproducibility test: if you have
libhdf5-openmpi-dev installed, do you get 
"checking hdf5.h usability... yes" ?

I did reinstall libhdf5-openmpi-dev and libhdf5-openmpi-7 to make sure
it wasn't just a corrupted installation.

So that's two octave-hdf questions:

1) why is libhdf5-openmpi-7 now making octave crash on my system (when
it doesn't affect yours) ?

2) why does my local build not recognise the hdf5.h provided by
libhdf5-openmpi-dev?
