if a new make-command should be executed in a build folder that includes
a makefile from a previous make-process.

For completeness, below what I see at the end:
[...]
touch '/home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/log/20200714_131252/libbiosig'
ln -sf '20200714_131252/libbiosig'
'/home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/log/libbiosig'
if ! (time make -f '/home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/Makefile'
'build-only-libbiosig')
&> '/home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/log/libbiosig';
then echo;
echo 'Failed to build package libbiosig!';
echo '------------------------------------------------------------';
tail -n 30 '/home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/log/libbiosig' | sed -n
'/./p';
echo '------------------------------------------------------------';
echo '[log]      /home/spofahl/builds/octave_stable/log/libbiosig'; echo;
exit 1; fi
echo '[done]     libbiosig'
[done]     libbiosig
make: Das Ziel ,,7z-dist" wurde wegen Fehlern nicht aktualisiert.

Thanks John for your advice!
The mxe-octave-release version can be built in a separate build dir,
therefore, my hope was, it will also work for the "stable"-release.

Is it possible to download the snapshots of octave-stable somewhere?

Stefan
