Octave segfaulting at start?

Just in case someone still tries to run octave on a SLE 10, let me warn you that 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30685 
is going to bite you.
A segfault awaits you behind the corner.

I've prepared a package that implements the (in)famous hack consisting of removing the gnulib:: namespace.
If you want to spare yourself some time, either fetch it from OBS or add this repo and feel free toping me in any update is needed/wanted.
