Details:

There was just a compilation fix:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/22e7b6ad93b6

but it appears there is another such file, scripts/DOCSTRINGS:


sebald@ ~/octave/octave/octave $ hg status
? .run-octave.in.swp
? libinterp/DOCSTRINGS
? liboctave/numeric/.schur.cc.swp
? liboctave/numeric/schur.cc.orig
? run-octave.in.orig
? scripts/DOCSTRINGS


It's here in Makefile.in:


Makefile.in:@address@hidden =
$(srcdir)/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS \
Makefile.in:@AMCOND_BUILD_DOCS_TRUE@    $(srcdir)/scripts/DOCSTRINGS
Makefile.in:libinterp_EXTRA_DIST = $(srcdir)/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS \
Makefile.in:libinterp_MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = $(srcdir)/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS \
Makefile.in:    $(FCN_FILES) $(GEN_FCN_FILES_IN) $(srcdir)/scripts/DOCSTRINGS \
Makefile.in:scripts_MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = $(srcdir)/scripts/DOCSTRINGS
Makefile.in:@address@hidden(srcdir)/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS:
$(ALL_DEF_FILES) | libinterp/$(octave-dirstamp)
Makefile.in:@AMCOND_BUILD_DOCS_TRUE@    $(INSTALL_DATA)
$(srcdir)/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS $(DESTDIR)$(octetcdir)/built-in-docstrings
Makefile.in:@address@hidden(srcdir)/scripts/DOCSTRINGS: $(FCN_FILES)
$(GEN_FCN_FILES) | scripts/$(octave-dirstamp)


The point is that these DOCSTRINGS files look to be generated, so perhaps they
do belong in the build tree and there are a host of definitions within the
make file using DOCSTRINGS for which the root path should be $(top_builddir). 
Maybe

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/22e7b6ad93b6

went in the wrong direction.
