Ok, now make is stopping at the following error:

ln -s .libs/`sed -n -e "s/dlname='\([^']*\)'/\1/p" < 
DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.la` DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.oct
ln: creating symbolic link `DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.oct' to 
`.libs/__convn__-0.dll': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.oct] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/octmgw32/octave/.build_mingw32_octave-tip-automake-4_gcc-4.4.0-dw2/src'

In my build directrory I have
 .build/src/.libs/
and
 .build/src/DLD-FUNCTION/.libs/

and the dld-function shared libs are located in the latter (while 
liboctinterp.dll is found in the former diretctory)
So in my case, since the makefile is executed in the src/ directory
the ln command should probably read

ln -s DLD-FUNCTIONS/.libs/`sed -n -e "s/dlname='\([^']*\)'/\1/p" < 
DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.la` DLD-FUNCTIONS/__convn__.oct

I don't know if this is now a mingw speciality of libtool to put the 
libraries there.
