This appears to be a bug, as run-octave doesn't add the path to
mkoctfile in the EXEC_PATH. Can be tested with

./run-octave
which mkoctfile
system('which mkoctfile')

where the last line will probably return the path to the installed
Octave rather than the mkoctfile with the newly built copy of Octave.
Sorry no patch at the moment, I'm pressed for time.
