The problem is that liboctmex.so.1 appears in the dynamic dependencies
of the generated MEX file (technically in the DT_NEEDED ELF section),
but the library is not in a location searched by the dynamic linker
(because it is installed in a private directory, as the other Octave
libraries).

This probably needs to be solved at the mkoctfile level.

Note that there are many other similar bugs. Once we have found the
correct fix, and assuming that the fix is in src:octave, we’ll reassign
these bugs to octave-dev and merge them.
