(in this case setting MaxBuildJobs doesn't do anything because I had to 
force Octave to build with only one build job)

This is octave-x11, I assume?  I'll see if I can reproduce the issue on 
my own 10.6/32-bit setup.

Reinstalling X11 isn't likely to change anything, so don't do that.  The 
failure is a complaint to the maintainer (me) that something in the 
build procedure is amiss according to our internal policies. :-)  (I 
didn't test the X11 build too much this time around)

A quick workaround is to edit 
/sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/octave-3.6.1.info and comment out 
or remove the line that says " fink-package-precedence . " (under 
CompileScript).  That should get you a functional Octave, but one that 
happens to link to X11's fontconfig library rather than Fink's.
