Dynamic linking doesn't actually work on Android (at least in my case,) so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or patchelf) was already a must. I had no clue about the
OCTAVE_HOME var though. I'll have to experiment with that.

Also, that build of Octave horribly outdated (~2012,) uses a chroot, lacks
many features, and doesn't work on my main device for whatever reason, hence
my obsessing over this for a few weeks. The first hints that this was
possible came from here:

And while very, very little in that guide still applies, and much is
missing, it got me started in the right direction.
