Yep I missed that, sorry.

Last night I cross-built 3.8.2 w/o the patch from bug #43318 with a 
fresh mxe-octave clone (using only --enable-64; that automatically 
enables --enable-windows-64 as it shows in the Makefile).

After running build-packages, the following OF packages:
 image,
 fl-core,
 odepkg and
 netcdf
are still missing due to compile errors.
So indeed it seems mxe-octave does not deliver guaranteed identical 
cross-builds.... or there's another difference between my and your build 
system that I've overlooked.

Tonight I'll try a 3.9.0+ build w/o patch from #43318 and see how that 
handles OF packages.

BTW as of lately my cross-builds often get stuck while building libmng; 
it stops with a complaint about mismatching autoconf versions (1.4 
versus 1.4.2 IIRC).
