[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41296] build mkoctfile and octave-config as executables on all platforms

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #41296 (project octave):

Should the fix happen on the stable branch?  Even though this is a relatively
big change it sort of seems like it has to happen if mkoctfile is going to
work on cygwin.

There are a number of other reports about mkoctfile which would probably be
easier to solve if we had just a single source file.  In particular, we
probably should pass on unrecognized flags directly to the compiler  (see bug
#34169).

Is anyone volunteering to do the consistency checking between the compiled and
script versions before we get rid of the script version?
