What operating system are you compiling on? Did you know that 3.6.2 is
now available?

Did you build and install these from source or are they from a package
manager of some kind?

Here is the relevant code section for reference:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/551566201318/src/oct-fstrm.cc#l46

So it looks like your gcc failed to pass the "C++ library is ISO
compliant" test. If it's failing this, it may be failing other tests
as well. Can you post your config.log file? This will show the test(s)
that failed and why. Possibly because you are using a gcc in a
non-standard directory. At a glance it looks like you are passing the
right include and library paths, but maybe parts of libstdc++ are not
being found.
