I don't know; currently I'm busy for work with a colleague, I plan to 
look further into libtool's error message tonight.

(BTW the MinGW build from clean checkout took 3.5 hours, not too bad)

Here's what I get when doing "make check" (after configure ..... 
--enable-docs=no)

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:
