    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The build system seems to go overboard and relink the main libraries such as
liboctave, liboctinterp, liboctgui whenever a documentation change is made in
the scripts/ directory.  This also causes all the DLDFCNs to be re-linked. 
This seems unnecessary.

Steps to Reproduce:


edit scripts/miscellaneous/ls.m and make a small change to the documentation
make -j4 all |& tee mymake.log


The logfile is attached.
