The option --no-gui-libs is also needed along with --no-gui.
If you use --no-gui-libs, then you don't need --no-gui.

Back to the original question, is there really a problem building docs on
Linux with the current default branch?
I say "yes", unless something has changed in the last couple days since I
tried a fresh build. The issue is that to generate the EPS files
requires executing ./run-octave. Currently it appears that running
octave attempts to start the GUI even if in batch mode.
This works for me, as in no GUI is started and a correct EPS file is
generated. The test I used was:
cd doc/interpreter
rm convhull.eps
make convhull.eps
## which executes the following
./config-images.sh ../..
../../doc/interpreter/images.mk is unchanged
../../run-octave -f -q -H -p . --eval "geometryimages ('convhull', 'eps');"
This works fine if the system is able to run the GUI, but if the system
is unable to start Qt the attempts to generate the EPS figures fail. The
scenario I'm thinking of is if someone logs onto a machine remotely and
runs the build process.
I tried the above sequence after using ssh to connect to my local machine.
I ran both with and without X11 forwarding and the eps file was generated
correctly.
