I just pulled & updated my MinGW (native) mxe-octave and got this:

======================================================

======================================================

Native build never get past qt here. In contrast, cross-builds perform
smooth and flawlessly.

I investigated the above error but couldn't find why the paths are wrong.

Perhaps the tools/set_mxe_env.sh script doesn't seem to get called as
there's no MXE-OCTAVE_ENV environment setting after the build stops at qt -
but maybe that is set within mk-dist itself?
