I did the change above, but the build fails almost always (almost = in a
clean chroot). It builds reliable in my normal work directory, which is
strange (I already looked at timestamp issues, but I do not think that
that is the problem). It always fails when linking in libcruft/ with the
error message:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `libranlib.la' or unhandled
argument `libranlib.la'

I've put a log file of the build at
http://people.debian.org/~tweber/octave.log.bz2

The commands effectively run are:
	automake --foreign --verbose
	./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr 
	make -j1

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
