I successfully compiled octave by copying new and std/new.h (from the
g++-include direcory on the system) to another location in /tmp, and
modifying std/new.h as follows:

extern "C" new_handler set_new_handler (new_handler);

was changed to

new_handler set_new_handler (new_handler);


Then I changed the #include in src/sighandlers.cc and
liboctave/oct-alloc.cc to #include "/tmp/{path}/new".



Thank you John Eaton and Joao Cardoso for your help.
