On my box, with an mxe-cross built 3.8.1-rc3, all packages in the
build_packages.m script install fine (save for tsa, I'll post another thread
or bug report for that).
Lots of warnings for deprecated octave_map & '\' continuation marker but
that'll be solved as packages get updated.

My mxe-octave setup is a bit lagging behind (~3 weeks old); it's at:
a4c024c9b9c1 'Fix typo for msys-zip.mk in dist-files.mk' 

and I have some personal mods (a.o., java include subdir, list of OF
packages, no "-auto, -global" flags in the build_packages.m script).

I don't know the state of Markus' mxe-octave used for building the binary
you tried;

it's 678e57893efe tip

 

*if* that is up-to-date *then* it could be inferred that maybe it
is better to not cross-build Octave releases with bleeding edge mxe-octave.
