    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The build system does not have any explicit dependency on
scripts/plot/util/gnuplot_binary.m (which is the only generated m-file) before
running Octave to build the figures for the user manual.

If building without OSMesa, gnuplot is used instead, and this will fail if
gnuplot_binary can't be called at build time.

In a parallel build, the build system probably builds this m-file early
because it depends on nothing else and can be easily built by make in parallel
with other things. But in a serial build it is not created before executing
the doc/interpreter/*images.m functions.
