Strange Permission denied error, JIT related?

[Daniel J Sebald]

Max,

I just started seeing a strange error from the most recent code.  I 
compiled as root, then run octave from a user account and get a 
permission denied error.  I ran twice and got this:

[sebald ~]$ /usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-nogui/run-octave
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file 
/usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-nogui/src/.libs/19012-lt-octave: 
Permission denied
collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusn[sebald ~]$ 
/usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-nogui/run-octave
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file 
/usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-nogui/src/.libs/19205-lt-octave: 
Permission denied
collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusn[sebald ~]$

Notice that the error message looks to be missing a backslash.  It says 
"statusn" and then the command line begins.  I think that is supposed to 
be "status\n".

Notice that the library that Octave is looking for changed between 
attempts.  In one case it is 19012-lt-octave, in the other it is 
19205-lt-octave.  Neither of these files are present in src/.libs.  All 
I see in that directory is "octave" and "octave-cli".  The two different 
file names make me think JIT.

Now here's the strange part.  I launch ./run-octave from the build 
directory as root and Octave runs as normal (not surprising, I suppose). 
 But then I try again as a user and now Octave runs as normal 
(surprising?).
