GCC-3.4.5 is obsolete for building octave in the development branch.

I recommend to use TDM's GCC/mingw32 Builds.
http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/

Latest release at present (2009-05-06) is 4.4.0-tdm-1.

I have been using GCC-4.3.3-1.  I mainly use Dwarf2 EH version because the speed of octave interpreter
is 20-30% faster than that built b Sjll version.  However, for the stability, the sllj version might
be better. In details, please read README-gcc-tdm.txt in the release package.


**************
BTW, I have introduce my distribution of a build kit under MinGW GCC-4.3.3-dw2-TDM for octave 3.0.5.
