Details:

As noted by Stephen Montgomery-Smith,
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2022-04/msg00005.html 

some test .m files are installed in the path that includes
the original build directory path:

"""
I recently upgraded to
octave 7.1.0.  I found something rather interesting - it creates a bunch
of files whose names are:

/usr/local/bin/share/octave/7.1.0/test/fixed/xxxxxxxxxx/tbcover.m

where the xxxxxxxx is derived from the directory in which the build
takes place.  In my case, xxxxxxxx would be
usr/ports/math/octave/work/octave-7.1.0.
"""

I can confirm it with the official Windows install as well as 
linux self-compile install.

E.g. on Windows I see:

I guess this /tmp-release-octave/octave-7.1.0/.build/ should not be there.
