Subject: MacOS X 10.3.9 build but load-save.m test failure

Hi

I have succeded in building Octave 2.9.2 code on MacOS X 10.3.9

The C/C++ compiler was a prerelease gcc-4.00 built from code with the cvs tag apple-gcc-5009.
The gfortran in that compiler will not handle alternate entry points so g77 from hpc.sourceforge.net was used for the Fortran codes.

This results in the restFP, saveFP problem at link time as described at http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP/. It would be good if this could be fixed in the autoconf stuff. Re-running the links with the addition of '-lcc_dynamic' allowed the octave build to complete.

The test suite run with with make check produced:
...
Running ../../test/octave.test/io/io.exp ...
FAIL: octave.test/io/load-save.m
