Follow-up Comment #38, bug #53006 (project octave):

I made a few more build system changes related to this.

The stamp file approach was broken for me. For example, if one or both of the
qch and qhc files were deleted but the stamp file left, the build rule was not
executed again. We normally only use stamp files when the build creates a new
directory and copies files into it, the stamp file acts as a proxy for the
modification time of the directory. So I took out the stamp file for this
build rule here

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bdecc7465840

And then when I tried to do a 'make install' I noticed that the local install
rules were not correct, and aren't really necessary. So I cleaned that up
with

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/92aaa85c06b8

For now, assuming I have Python 2 with lxml, I can build and install.
