I'm afraid we can't.
Windows builds are made using mxe-octave and usually cross-compiled on Linux
hosts.
mxe-octave can be used natively on Windows as well, but the last attempt by
someone must have been over a year ago. Or even longer.
In addition, mxe-octave currently uses the mingw tool chain. MSVC once
worked but its maintainer hasn't shown for quite while.
If this isn't enough, building natively (on Windows) takes about 5-8 times
as long as cross-building on Linux.

Not all good news :-)

If you have Ubuntu, why don't you just cross-build Octave just like all
developers of Octave for Windows do?
