The code in excompiler.cpp works only on ELF platforms (i.e. Linux, Solaris,
*BSD). The configure script should have disabled excompiler feature, but it
didn't. I need your config.log file to find out why. Could you please post it?

That's pointless, since dlopen(3) and friends don't exist on windows anyway.

So far so good...

But this one is definitely wrong. You've forgotten to specify the actual
libraries (CLN and GMP). That's why the linker fails to resolve any
symbols from the CLN library.

So, the correct form would be

CLN_LIBS='-L/usr/local/octave-3.0.0/lib -lcln -lgmp'

Note: you need to run the configure script once more for this to take
an effect, i.e.

export CLN_LIBS='-L/usr/local/octave-3.0.0/lib -lcln -lgmp'
make distclean
./configure --prefix=/whatever/you/want
make

> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:/Programs/msys/1.0/local/octave-3.0.0/lib/pkgconfig

That's pointless (although harmless). If CLN_{LIBS,CFLAGS} are set
the configure script won't call pkg-config to determine compiler and linker
flags. User specified values are used instead.
