Thanks for your help, now I understand the problem.
I think that this bug report can be closed now

The problem is that the build process is trying to re-create the documentation, because it can see that you have changed a file that contains documentation strings.

This isn't going to work because it needs to run Octave to create parts of the documentation and the build host only has Octave built for the target (Windows).

I think what you want to do is clone the Mercurial repo for Octave (not MXE-Octave) and create a distribution tarball (make dist). Copy this distribution tarball into MXE-Octave's pkg directory. And then proceed normally.

To create the tarball:

How are you 'copying in' the latest audiodevinfo.cc.

I built 4.1.0+ yesterday with MXE (and it runs fine).

The only difference I see between your and my setup is your
"make update-checksum-default-octave`
command - I don´t run that. But at first sight I don´t think that should matter.

Hint:
go through Makefile in mxe/octave´s root dir and check the settings.

I am using the following script to build mxe-octave in Ubuntu:

to build Octave correctly I copy the latest octave/libinterp/dldfcn/audiodevinfo.cc, but still there a build
problem:

I get:

It seems the makefile looks for unix executable octave, but the directory contains only windows executables.

Thanks,
