I'm not sure what that means for Octave, which is an interpreted language. AFAIK, it would be unusual to be linking directly to Octave. So, I'm not sure an ABI break is meaningful in this context. But, I'm not a big octave user, so maybe I missed something.

Could someone update the GNU Octave in the EPEL repository to the current version 3.6.4?
Can't. The EPEL6 branch is at 3.4.3, and a version upgrade is not really allowed in the EPEL guidelines.
Why not? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/**EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#A_** major_version_updatehttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#A_major_version_update
Only mentions ABI changes or incompabilities. Is this newer version known to be incompatible in some way?
Yes, it is ABI in-compatible.
