That's great.  I'm going to close this report now.

I don't get this bug on either of my machines anymore.

Does this still happen after the fix for this bug (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53644) was checked in?

I think I've been avoiding parallel builds I use


>> make hg-octave-dist


with mxe-octave.

I noticed some occasional failures during doc builds when using parallel make.

I just tried rebuilding twice and it failed the same both times. It was working to build earlier yesterday, had changed things to get a different build error and changed things back to the working build, but is now running into the build error described here which I have seen multiple times in the past. This time around I thought I'd report it. I tried 'make maintainerclean' suggested in bug #44166 which didn't work, and repeating the build doesn't seem to be working right now. I'll try removing the octave build folder and starting clean next.

The first error on build output is the following:

It looks like it fails to create the image for some reason. It also happens with many other figures later, but not all of them.

I run into a build error problem that surfaces every once in a while, where the final build fails with the message


...
Last OS error: No such file or directory
GPL Ghostscript 9.21: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
  TEXI2PDF doc/interpreter/octave.pdf
  GEN      doc/interpreter/octave.html/voronoi.png

make[3]: *** [doc/interpreter/octave.html/voronoi.png] Error 1
...


Usually this goes away on rebuilding, but is rather inconvenient that it still shows up every once in a while. I found other likely related (closed) bug reports with related symptoms: bug #44166, and bug #44782. I have the config.log file saved and the text output if those will be useful: there are a number of other warnings/errors that are printed out during the same build whenever this build failure occurs.
