....and here's the contents of <BUILDDIR>/src:

So, building of octave & octave-cli has simply been skipped w/o warning 
(unless the stanzas:
  Makefile:2632: warning: overriding commands for target `check'
  Makefile:2214: warning: ignoring old commands for target `check'
...indicate something).
I wouldn't know how to get any further here. Suggestions?
