I have narrowed down and can reproduce at least one of the build
failures that is preventing a full rebuild of the Fedora octave-forge
package.
These failures all occur during the final install phase, not during
the build. The reproducible failure occurs during the install of the
java-1.2.6 package but when compiling for i686, not when compiling for
x86_64 (even on the same machine):
# make install TMPDIR=/var/tmp

make: *** [install] Error 1
(Note that on the very same machine the x86_64 build works fine.)
I then isolated this to the section of the Makefile that runs:
pkg('install','-nodeps','-nodeps','-verbose','/var/tmp/java-1.2.6.tar.gz');
which produces the error:
warning: lo_ieee_init: unrecognized floating point format!

I'm not sure how to debug much further than this.
More details available on the Fedora downstream bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510841
Note that ppc, ppc64 and x86_64 builds all seem to complete correctly.
