Details:

When trying to build the flexiblas package with octave 7.1 for Fedora:

make: Leaving directory
'/home/orion/fedora/octave-flexiblas/flexiblas-octave/build/flexiblas-octave/src'

error: unlink: operation failed: No such file or directory
error: called from
    build at line 81 column 7
    pkg at line 720 column 7

Apparently it is trying to delete:
/home/orion/fedora/octave-flexiblas/flexiblas-octave/build/flexiblas-octave/src/configure

but this file does not exist.  It seems like new behavior that unlink fails on
non-existent files and many users of it do not handle that well.
