Ok so on zelenka, octave 3.8.2-1 FTBFS against glibc 2.19-7 but compiles
against 2.19-9. So my hypothesis seems to be confirmed.

I have therefore requested a give back. Now octave is in state
BD-Uninstallable on s390x because of the ongoing perl 5.20 transition
(same on mips), so we'll have to wait a bit before this bug can
hopefully be closed.
