I think Anirudha fixed it but his branch hasn't been merged back yet. So no,
currently you have no Java support yet.
I have some "kludges" in my mxe-octave that allow Java to get built.
Essentially still the same as I reported here last Spring (IIRC).

__run_test_suite__ just finished on an mxe-octave cross-built MinGW-octave
of tip c17a3e43956b "avoid partial lines attop of command window". This
includes mxe-octave fixes to allow llvm to get included.

The single two Java tests pass, and from extensive use with mxe-cross-built
MinGW-Octaves I know that Java works fine.

I have Ghostscript installed on my XP box and I see no ghostscipt-related
errors.
The ghostscript installer can be downloaded here:

http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/

Using 7-zip the gs910w32.exe installer file can simply be unpacked.

As to the other tests:
I get essentially the same results as you, be it that the tests got hung on
jit.tst with 1 CPU core at 95-100 %.
I waited half an hour before Ctrl-C; I think 30 minutes should be ample time
for jit.tst (on the Linux side it took maybe a minute) - or is that a wrong
assumption?

If I have time tomorrow night I'll try to find out which part of jit.tst
gets the test suite hung.
