In my mxe-octave tree there's no times.h either and it is up-to-date as of
Oct 14., at which date I've cross-built Octave-4.1.0+ that was also
up-to-date then (and that runs fine on my Win7 box).
just to be sure, I searched for but couldn't find times.h in Octave's
installation directory on the Windows side.

I can only suppose that you have some cruft left in your Octave build tree.
