Details:

After updating distribution to Ubuntu 14.04, Octave 3.8 crashes prior to
startup with a segmentation fault.

This occurs both with the version installed from the package manager, and if
it is built and installed manually.

GDB output / backtrace running the version installed from package manager:

Starting program: /usr/bin/octave 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Output is almost identical with the version built and installed manually
(installed under /opt/octave3.8)

GCC version, if this helps, is: 4.8.2

Note that running make check also results in segfault.
