I can see the same just tested a few hours ago also with a fresh hg clone, I 
can only build when using
./configure --enable-docs=no
run-octave is not build when build docs need it.
(opensuse 11.2 64 bit)
three or four  days ago the build (with docs succeeded)
Had not yet time to look deeper into it .
