I saw this the first time I tried mxe-octave:

[build]    nsis
[done]     nsis

generating installer...
*** Error in `i686-w64-mingw32-makensis': double free or corruption

'octave-4.0.1-rc4-installer.exe' failed
make: *** [octave-4.0.1-rc4-installer.exe] Error 134

I used

  ./configure --enable-binary-packages --enable-devel-tools
  make JOBS=10
  make binary-dist-files zip-dist nsis-installer

After the failure, I tried again with just

  make nsis-installer

and it seems to have worked.  Odd.

Anyway, testing now, and if my build looks OK I'll upload it to 
alpha.gnu.org.

Unless there are any objections, I think this should become 4.0.1 (only 
changing the version number).
