I appears you have to configure octave with the output of pkg-config --libs
{blas/lapack}. Here I have

$ pkg-config --libs blas
-lrefblas

$ pkg-config --libs lapack
-lreflapack -lrefblas

So the following configure works here

../configure --with-blas=refblas --with-lapack=reflapack

Or you may get something like this (all on one line) to work

../configure --with-blas=`pkg-config --libs blas | sed 's:-l::g' | sed
's:[[:space:]].*$::g'` --with-lapack=`pkg-config --libs lapack | sed 's:-l::g'
| sed 's:[[:space:]].*$::g'`

There may be other things that are missing but I'm able to generate the
makefiles with the above.
