Assigning this to myself, since this is specific to libstdc++ which is only used on PowerPC systems. (Or does 10.5 x85 also use it? Then it will likely fail there as well.)

It actually kinda runs manually, though with the same malloc errors:

Yes it does, at least manually adding this chunk into run-octave script lets it launch without any errors:

if [ -n "$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]; then
   DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/libgcc:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}
else
   DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/libgcc
fi
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Non-aligned pointer being freed

Same error previously reported in other ports in #59832, #65286.

Yes, I know that. (It is not identical in 100% of cases, but very often it is.)

I will try to sort this out, together with fixing powerpc host, dropping hdf5 restriction for mpich and hopefully restoring Qt4.

16. S. Weird thing is that octave tries to run its binaries during destroot and activation.
