Back to the original problem. Just now building the latest tip on linux with make -j8 I got:

Running "make V=1" -- finished building w/o problem.

This is on Fedora 29.

I played with this a little more.

If I just delete doc/ (in the build directory) and re-run make -j8 it finishes fine.

If i remove entire octave directory and re-do entire (clone/update/bootstap/configure)

it crashes again with the same error:

Running "make -j8 V=1" finishes build w/o error.

Since there is no actual crash -- there is nothing in the logs...
