Using mkoctfile of a freshly built Octave

[Thomas Weber-8]

Hi,

as part of a unit test, I would like to use mkoctfile from a fresh
built, ie after I ran

        make
the following
        make check
should use the newly compiled mkoctfile. Using just 'mkoctfile' in the
Makefile uses the command from an already installed Octave, so how do I
get the 'fresh' one?

Thanks
        Thomas

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.
