Is this a duplicate of bug #42572?

This is discussed in the octave-maintainers list:

parallel package cannot be install due to the lack of <sys/socket.h> on windows

Apparently configure reports the lack of sys/socket.h.

In octave build tree for 4.0.2 on Ubunu
sys/socket.h
is defined in libgnu directory.

In octave build, sys/socket.h is defined in libgnu and there is no problem.

However, gnulib stuff is completely removed in the binary distribution of octave for windows.
The native windows does not have sys/socket.h.
This causes the error above.

Questions
1. gnulib stuff is completely removed in the binary distribution of octave for windows. Is this intentional?

2. Octave-forge package is build outside of octave build trees.
Removal of the gnulib stuff from the binary distribution suggests that their own implementations of cross-platform development stuff.
