I'm a bit more cautious than that. Since I rarely modify the sources, I make a copy of my archive and build from there. Thus, my build process is effectively,

#! /bin/sh -ev
cd octave
hg update -C release-3-0-x 
cd ..
cp -r octave octave-3-0-x
cd octave
hg update -C default
cd ../octave-3-0-x
../osx_fix.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure ...
make
make check

The "osx_fix" script comments out the "INSTANTIATE_ARRAY_AND_ASSIGN\ (std::streamoff,\ OCTAVE_API" in /iboctave/Array-so.cc.

However, since I've not previously understood how to properly switch between branches, it makes sense for me to try the build again. I'll do that and report back.
