I just upgraded to ubuntu 15.10 and ran into this same issue.
I can confirm that doing a ./bootstrap does fix it.

So this bug can be closed.

@Juan: Does Mike's solution in comment #1 work?  That is the clean way to handle this.  Nobody should need to hand edit the configure file.

The workaround is to edit the configure script and set

am__api_version='1.15'

You just need to ./bootstrap again. That should rerun automake and autoconf with the new versions of the tools and this error will go away.

Octave wont build in Ubuntu 15.10 because it searches for aclocal-1.14 but aclocal-1.15 is the system's version.

WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
