Details:

Extremely minor issue. I ran across this target I didn't even know existed,
"make check-missing-semicolon" loads all m-files in the Octave distribution
and reports on lines that do not end with a semicolon.

Target had been broken since the Makefile reorg a few months ago, that is not
fixed. It now breaks because certain types of m-files cannot be sourced, in
particular m-files that define classdef classes or m-files that have
subfunctions (at least those are the errors I saw when trying to run the
target).

The attached quick-n-dirty hack fixed the target for me by skipping over the
files in question, but prevents a few files from being checked. Maybe someone
would want to work on a different way to parse and check for such things?
