Re: a < b incorrect for complex numbers on MinGW

[Ed Meyer]

since ordering relations don't make sense for complex numbers it seems like

this should yield a warning. a < b should not even compile - there shouldn't be

an operator< for complex

I found the following behavior while investigating a failing test in quadgk.

ans =  1
octave-cli.exe:12> a == b
ans =  1
octave-cli.exe:13> a > b
ans = 0

a < b should return false, and it does on Linux, but something is wrong
with the MinGW system.  This looks unpleasant to solve.  I filed a report
about it on Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?40560).
