Details:

The official Windows builds for Octave 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 contain some references
to invalid paths that only exist in Linux. For example the call of mkoctfile

$ /d/Octave-4.0.3/bin/mkoctfile -p OCTLIBDIR
\scratch\jwe\mxe-octave\usr\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\octave\4.0.3

returns an invalid path. 

However, octave-config gives the correct path

$ /d/Octave-4.0.3/bin/octave-config -p OCTLIBDIR
D:\Octave-4.0.3\lib\octave\4.0.3


Furthermore, the .la files in lib/octave/4.0.3 contain invalid references. For
example liboctave.la contains the lines

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=''
# -R/usr/lib -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libcurl.la /usr/lib/libidn.la
/usr/lib/libssh2.la /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la
/usr/lib/libgnutls.la -lnettle -lhogweed /usr/lib/libgmp.la -lcrypt32
/usr/lib/libintl.la /usr/lib/libiconv.la /usr/lib/libpcreposix.la -lwldap32
-lz -lcholmod -lumfpack -lamd -lcamd -lcolamd -lccolamd -lcxsparse -larpack
/usr/lib/libqrupdate.la /usr/lib/libfftw3.la /usr/lib/libfftw3f.la -llapack
-lblas -lreadline -ltermcap /usr/lib/libpcre.la
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.3/libgfortran.la -L/usr/mingw/lib
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.3/libquadmath.la -lgdi32 -lws2_32
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.3/libstdc++.la'

which makes the compilation of some third-party tools crash like we found out
for NFFT <https://github.com/NFFT/nfft/issues/25>.
