(Sorry for responding late, I was away last week)

Cleaning up old Octave remnants in mxe-octave build trees goes as follows (actually a "make uninstall"):

in <mxe-octave>/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/
delete the octave-<version> subdirectories in:
\share\octave\<version>
\lib\octave\<version>
\libexec\octave\<version>

and in <mxe-octave>\bin, delete:
liboct*.dll
mkoctf*.exe
octave*.exe

It can get trickier if dependencies have to be updated. Usually it is better to start a new mxe-octave build from scratch.
Hint:
Keep a separate pkg/ subdir somewhere and make a symlink in the new <mxe-octave> directory to it, that saves a lot of download time and bandwidth/allowance.

Thanks, I'll do it.
Other test pass, so you may close this report as invalid.
Thanks and sorry for the noise.

I don't know, I would guess by deleting everything under the mxe-octave directory that contains a "4.1". That may be overkill, you may want to ask on the maintainers list, maybe John D or Philip have a best practice for cleaning and building Octave again.

So if you just delete this one textscan.cc-tst file from the installed Octave on Windows, do other textscan tests pass? I think the tests are now in the file file-io.cc-tst.

You are right. This file is very old one.
I see it only in the mxe-octave tree.
How do I cleanup the mxe-octave tree?

I think you have a leftover file in your build. Can you check the date stamps to verify? There should no longer be a textscan.cc, and the tests in there may be out of date.

using MXE-Octave dev (changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/19e8eddd4773)

This test does not fail in Linux (Ubuntu).
