Details:

I tried to build with --disable-docs:

../octave/configure --prefix=/usr/local/octave-disable-docs --disable-docs 
make -j 6 && make install


The build fails at "make install" with:

/usr/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/octave-disable-docs/share/octave/4.1.0+/etc
f=libinterp/DOCSTRINGS; \
  if test -f $f; then d=; else d="../octave/"; fi; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 "$d$f"
/usr/local/octave-disable-docs/share/octave/4.1.0+/etc/built-in-docstrings
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat '../octave/libinterp/DOCSTRINGS': No such file
or directory
Makefile:27109: recipe for target 'install-built-in-docstrings' failed
make[4]: *** [install-built-in-docstrings] Error 1


The following patch fixes the problem:
