Ben,

Things can get weird when tinkering with the build system, and jwe has been
doing a lot recently to improve it.  One way to test things cleanly is to
get rid of all the cruft in your source tree and try a fresh build.

I do

make maintainer-clean
hg stat -u -i > unknown.list
#look through unknown.list and delete things you don't need like leftover
.o object files.
bootstrap
configure
make

However, a quicker test is to update your source repository and then clone
it to a new directory.  That will get you only the files under version
control, and skip all the cruft.

cd octave-src
hg pull
hg update
cd ..
hg clone octave-src octave-tmp
cd octave-tmp
bootstrap
configure
make
