hdf5 fails due to missing autoconf 2.69 as well...
I guess I need to install it..

did that, but octave fails with: 
"/home/thorsten/devel/mxe-octave/tmp-octave/octave-3.7.1/src/main.cc:30:20: 
fatal error: sysdep.h: No such file or directory"
No idea why this file is not found... Maybe because of autoconf and this 
warning?:
configure.ac:44: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.11.3,
configure.ac:44: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:44: comes from Automake 1.11.6.  You should recreate
configure.ac:44: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: `automake-1.11' is probably too old.  ...

I guess I get both and try again...

and llvm.org is up again...
