Where did you get the "--gnulib-srcdir=/usr/bin/" part from? Try again
without that.

For hdf5 you will have to add the following options (I'm assuming 64-bit
Ubuntu):

  ./configure --with-hdf5-includedir=/usr/include/hdf5/serial \
              --with-hdf5--libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial

The warning about Java is normal, it means it was auto-detected because
you didn't tell configure exactly which Java you want to use.

You're missing some TeX fonts needed to build the documentation,

  sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended

should fix that.

I was just wondering if you knew you can just "apt-get install octave"
from Ubuntu, why go through the trouble of building yourself? Do you
want to develop with or contribute to Octave development?
