Oops, this patch does not do what I intended.

David, can you please take a look at this?  The source of the problem
seems to be the extern declarations in the SPARSE_SMSM_BOOL_OP and
SPARSE_MSM_CMP_OP macros in Sparse-op-defs.h.

I don't think these macros should be unconditionally declaring mixed
ops for Complex and double types.  If they include extern declarations
at all, they should probably be of the form

  extern OCTAVE_API SparseBoolMatrix F (const M1::elt_type&, const M2&);

but maybe it would be better to include the generated smx-X-Y.h file
that declares these mixed-type functions in any file that uses these
macros?  To do that will probably require some changes to the
sparse-mk-ops.awk script.  Also, I think the sparse-mk-ops.awk script
is not generating all the necessary functions and declarations.

Thanks,
