[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54217] Build fails with error: call of overloaded ‘pow(int,int)’ is ambiguous

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #54217 (project octave):

I don't understand this last error. There is a section of code, admittedly
marked with a "FIXME" comment meaning that it is not an ideal solution, that
explicitly declares 'abs' overloads to operate on all signed and unsigned
integer types. Your compiler is saying that a later call to 'abs' in the same
file is ambiguous. I'm not sure what to do about that. This may be a template
overload resolution problem that has been fixed in later versions of GCC. Or
it may be specific to GCC on Solaris.

I guess you could try something like the attached patch, does that get you
past this error?
