make hangs at pkg install on octave 3.8.x on win 7 64 bit

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

I have installed mxe-octave 3.8.2 and tried "pkg install"

pkg install failes because make command hangs. 
octave:1> cd C:\octave\Octave-3.8.2\src
octave:2> pkg install general-1.3.4.tar.gz
      0 [main] make 5968 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   1934 [main] make 5968 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to 
make.exe.stackdump

This happened two different PC working on Win 7 64 bit.
The same phenomena happens on octave-3.8.1 (mxe).
pkg install was successful at last time for both computers. (Perhaps on July.)

Does anyone see the similar phenomena?


On windows 8.1, pkg install was successfully.

If I use msys make which is installed in other directory, setting PATH 
environmental variable
msys make does not hung and pkg install does well


Does anyone observe similar phenomena?
