That's what I tried yesterday night but I got this:
:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct371/libinterp'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `config-featurs.sh', needed by
`distdir'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct371/libinterp'
make: *** [distdir] Error 1
I figured this obviously came about because I wasn't following formal
procedures; but apparently I was.
I filed a bug report for this (#38458).
