What are in the two DOCSTRING files in the src and scripts
directories?
They should be a series of entries like this:
=1Fis_struct
=2D*- texinfo -*-
@deftypefn {Function File} {} is_struct (@var{a})
This function has been deprecated. Use isstruct instead.
@end deftypefn
=1Fis_symmetric
=2D*- texinfo -*-
@deftypefn {Function File} {} issymmetric (@var{x}, @var{tol})
This function has been deprecated. Use issymmetric instead.
@end deftypefn
The separator between entries is ASCII 31. A function name should
appear immediately after the separator, then any number of lines of
Texinfo documentation until the next separator.

What can cause that?
