I don't understand why you have so many problems that result in
needing to build from scratch.  I don't see to have those problems,
and I thought the Makefile rules were now pretty accurate, so if a
file like oct-parse.yy changes, all the necessary things would be
rebuilt.  The only time I see usually see problems is when something
in gnulib changes (typically, I think, when a generated file needs to
be rebuilt or a gnulib configure test is changed, but I'm not
absolutely sure) and I still don't need a complete rebuild from
scratch, just to clean out the gnulib files.

I don't see this problem.  Starting Octave with run-octave, I see

and the tests run normally with "make check".
