Probably not. I think the problem is as described in

OK. ISTR Octave can work with “MEX files”, but I’m no expert.

Applied, thanks!
However I noticed that Coda bundles copies of zlib, pcre, and expat.
Could you send a patch that (1) adds those as inputs and makes sure the
bundled copies are not used (using ‘guix gc --references’ on the
result), and (2) removes the corresponding directories from the source
tree in a ‘snippet’, if possible?
Ludo’.
