Just had the same experience. 
Cross-building octave-3.8.0-rc2 with my (somewhat outdated) mxe-octave tree
failed in the install phase (something like "no rule to make octave-cli"),
so I decided to start with a new mxe-octave clone.

With the nex cloned mxe-octave, using:

./mk-dist --jobs 4 --installer

.... the build falied at libgcrypt (repeatedly -I restarted the build
several times). 
The log says:

which made me think it could be a race condition.

Indeed, restarting with  --jobs 1  (lets) the build continue (so far that is
:-) - after libgcrypt I restarted the buid with  --jobs 4 parameter  again,
but it'll be still building for the next hours I suppose)

Octave rc2 fails for me with the no rule to make octave-cli, with the latest
mxe-octave.

For the libgcrypt issue, what happens if you make link in libgcrypt.mk from:
    $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j '$(JOBS)' install bin_PROGRAMS= sbin_PROGRAMS=
noinst_PROGRAMS= DESTDIR='$(3)'

To

    $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j '$(JOBS)' 
    $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j 1 install bin_PROGRAMS= sbin_PROGRAMS=
noinst_PROGRAMS= DESTDIR='$(3)'
