Details:

Building Octave with --disable-docs doesn't actually create the oct-files
under libinterp/dldfcn. The object files are linked (e.g.
libinterp/dldfcn/.libs/amd.so) but the .oct file is not built. When "make
install" is run, the oct-files are created in the install target path, but
still not in the build tree.

I'm guessing this is because the oct-files are a dependency for running Octave
to build the documentation, but not a dependency of the "all" target.

Running "make check" does generate the oct-files.
