What I usually do is to build Octave in Linux from source (in separate
source and build dirs), and upon succes (after "make check") make a dist
target using:

make all dist

- copy that dist target into the mxe-octave pkg subdir; 
- adapt the settings of src/default-octave.mk: set checksum to "## No
chksum" (w/o quotes) & if required update the file extension and version,
and then do (assuming mxe-octave was configured with
--enable-octave=default):

make nsis-installer JOBS=<nr of CPU cores + 1>

This way I regularly (once - twice a week) make fresh dev versions to try on
my Windows boxes.
