I think this is happening because the main.cc file is now generated
and so will be in the build tree instead of the source tree but the
dependency information that was previously generated is still
referring to the source tree and main.cc no longer exists there.

If you want to try to fix this without rebuilding everything, then
look for .Po files in your build tree that contain the string
../../octave/src/main.in.cc and change them to main.cc instead.
