Cross-building 3.8.2-rc2 with a fresh mxe-clone (changeset 3643:f2503a486cce
tip @ ghostscript: new package), I get (building octave rather than
stable-octave)

This message does ring a bell, perhaps I've seen it before, but I can't find
relevant posts.

Philip,

You had this email from 3.8.1 (partial included):

I'd like to start making the Windows installer available from 
ftp.gnu.org.  Is it ready for that now?  Or are there some significant 
problems that need to be fixed before we should make "official"

releases?

"Problems" may me too heavy a term, but there are a few little glitches.

For my own 3.8.1 cross-built binary I did the following to make it usable
for me:

- Add a "--with-x=no" flag to the configure options in
src/stable-octave.mk (& src/octave.mk) to ensure gl2ps is included in the
build (had to do it even with latest mxe-octave checkout) (thanks John D
for the hint)
