I explictly set the generator output for native mingw when using cmake 
as for some reason it keeps on trying to use visual c parts, even if not 
installed. (I really dislike cmake - I guess I havent used it enough)

The first lapack update I did would have tried to use msys for any 
native build - and also has a typo - it should have been "MSYS 
Makefiles" - I fixed that in change set 
http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/dea92be54fc8

Let me know if it didnt fix it for you.
