I don't know what's causing trouble for you.  It works for me at least 
as far as building Octave.  I'm having some problems with parallel "make 
install" that seem to be due to targets being made multiple times in 
parallel because of move-if-change rules.  But that's a separate issue 
and I don't think related to my recent changes.
