You are correct. The moc_QTerminal.cpp is recreated but without the "thread" 
reference.

I did this a second time to verify.  Now when I ./run-octave the gui comes up!

So what I did was ...

(1) Apply the findFirst.diff patch
(2) Commented out out the call to dissociate_terminal in octave_start_gui in 
gui/src/octave-gui.cc.
(3) Removed qterminal/libqterminal/moc_QTerminal.cpp
(4) Ran "make"

I'm able to type commands and plot, and don't see any focus problems.  However, 
the keyboard mapping isn't correct.  When "less" is paging the output, typeing 
"q" has no effect.  Neither does ctrl-c.  The "Quit" from the MacOS menu bar 
also does not work.  So I had to kill Octave from the MacOS activity monitor.
