Oops.  I think the following changeset will fix that problem:

   http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b241e69306a5

You should just need to update and run make again.  You should NOT
need to run autogen.sh or configure.

Thanks.

I think you have the same problem as me, namely that DLL under Windows are suffixed with '4'.  This will require proper detection in the configure script. I'll try to come up with a solution in the coming days (I'm currently adding up a couple of patches to fix compilation under Windows).
