Does

   ../configure F77=gfortran --without-qt --disable-docs

work for you?  I think there have been many changes in the plotting
system of Octave, and I am not sure if the documentation can be built
these days without the qt-toolkit.  Your "luck" might have been, that
your build-tree was rather old and those documentation images had not to
be built for a long time.

If "--disable-docs" works for you, then we should open a bug report
suggesting that "--without-qt" implies "--disable-docs".

Best,
Kai
