Details:

This error showed up all of a sudden:

cp: cannot create regular file ‘../octave/doc/interpreter/stamp-vti’:
Permission denied
make[2]: *** [../octave/doc/interpreter/stamp-vti] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/octave/octave/build1'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/octave/octave/build1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

It has to do with the way I go about building. I had posted about segfault in
documentation; that occurred when I was building in the system directory as
root. So I figured I'd try doing a completely fresh build as a user.

Looking at the source tree, I see some files that must have been generated by
the build process:
