Details:

My path in interactive shell sessions is

/usr/nfs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/olaf/bin

Within Octave called with ./run-octave, this order is changed (/usr/nfs/bin
is now after /usr/local/bin):

octave:1> getenv ("PATH")
ans =
/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.53+/site/exec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:/usr/local/libexec/octave/api-v41+/site/exec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:/usr/local/libexec/octave/site/exec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:/usr/local/libexec/octave/3.3.53+/exec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:/usr/local/bin:/usr/nfs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/olaf/bin
octave:2> 

This is probably the reason that during building Octave calles the wrong
gnuplot on my system (causing errors in building, but due to another bug
connected with this gnuplots version --- this is reported separately).
