The main issue is that gcc 4.4.1 appears to have problems on i386.
That leads to mis-compiled DLAMCH routine from lapack 3.1.1.
I do not know why the problem goes avay with lapack 3.2.1,
perhaps it is re-written and more robust now, or it gets compiled
with different optimization flags.
As things stands now, the octave 3.2.2 (from RPM package) on i386
will not pass "make check" test.
