The --disable-docs option shouldn't disable creation and installation of the DOCSTRINGS files. That option is really intended to disable things that require TeX. Maybe it should be renamed, but that's not a high priority for me.

The problem should be fixed by this patch:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/187b6727c75e

It also fixes a problem with cross compiling VPATH builds from tarball distributions. Let me know if there are still problems as this needs to be fixed before the release.

Thank you for your bug report and patch. The --disable-docs switch is broadly scoped and a little vague as to what it disables. I remember dicussing --disable-docs with jwe recently. I can't remember whether his opinion was that the built-in-docstrings file should be installed even with --disable-docs or not. Specifically what tools or build steps is --disable-docs intended to avoid?
