What do you get for

  nm src/pic/__glpk__.o | grep 'lib_[a-z]*_hook'

in your Octave build directory?  What do you see for

  nm /path/to/glpk/libglpk.a | grep 'lib_[a-z]*_hook'

with glpk 4.32?  On my system, I see

  $ nm src/pic/__glpk__.o | grep 'lib_[a-z]*_hook'
                   U _glp_lib_fault_hook
                   U _glp_lib_print_hook
and

  $ nm /usr/lib/libglpk.a | grep 'lib_[a-z]*_hook'
                   U _glp_lib_term_hook
  0000000000000000 T _glp_lib_fault_hook
  0000000000000050 T _glp_lib_print_hook
  0000000000000000 T _glp_lib_term_hook

My results are with the 4.32 glpk packages from Debian experimental:

  $ dpkg -l '*glpk*'
