Yes there were earlier issues with those packages caused by their old
configure-make setup:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41131, sse comment #5

After just deleting these 3 packages from the pertinent Makefile rule,
of-database also fails to build with:

:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -std=gnu++11 -c
-I/home/philip/devel/octdev/mxe/mxe_w64_qt4_201706010/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include

octave_value_list&, int)':
bytea2var.cc:97:22: error: 'flt_fmt_unknown' is not a member of
'oct_mach_info'
       if (flt_fmt == oct_mach_info::flt_fmt_unknown)
                      ^
Makefile:95: recipe for target 'bytea2var.o' failed
make[2]: *** [bytea2var.o] Error 1


Dropping that one as well, the cross-build continues fine.

So it is just those 4 of-packages that have issues being (cross-)built.
