I attempted to compile the current tip, but ...

g++ -c -g -I/sw/include -I/sw/include -fPIC -I. -I.. -I../liboctave - 
I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -Wall -W - 
Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -g -O3 mex.cc -o pic/mex.o
mex.cc: In constructor ‘mxArray_number::mxArray_number(mwSize, const  
char**)’:
mex.cc:1165: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer  
expressions
mex.cc: In function ‘mxArray* mxCreateLogicalScalar(int)’:
mex.cc:2549: error: ISO C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though  
the worst conversion for the first is better than the worst conversion  
for the second:
mex.cc:1999: note: candidate 1: mxArray::mxArray(mwSize, mwSize)
mex.cc:1969: note: candidate 2: mxArray::mxArray(mxClassID, double)
mex.cc:2549: error: ISO C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though

make[2]: *** [pic/mex.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Can anyone confirm?
