This occurs even when octave is compiled with
FFLAGS='-O0 -gfull -Wall'

Does somebody know how to reduce this test to smaller ones,
or the list of object files getting called during this test ?
The content of fntests.log is completely uninformative;
last line is:
 >>>>> processing /sw/.bld/octave-2.9.17-1/octave-2.9.17/src/ov-fcn- 
handle.cc

OhOh !  Now I see some sort of test-sequences (2) within the code of
src/ov-fcn-handle.cc itself !
Any instruction on how to run those independently, and preferably  
step by step,
in the builddir ?
