(You did make a dist archive ("make dist") on Ubuntu and copied that into
<mxe-octave>/pkg/, didn't you?)

Yes that should be adapted.
For a temporary workaround, just adapt the version in
<mxe-octave>/src/default-octave.mk to 4.5.0+ and check the following
checksum line if it contains "## NoChecksum" (w/o quotes, just the "##"
matter).

Anyway, I did so and then the build broke on a recent change that I believe
also hit on Linux, AFAICS a new Python script dependency; I've just entered
a bug report for that.

Ah well, that's life on a bleeding edge .... :-)
