(cross-building right now)
Not only gnuplot: I see build-m4, build-autoconf, build-automake, lapack,
arpack, gettext, gnutils, libidn, curl, gl2ps, gnuplot.... (llvm yet to
come) - I'm sure I pulled & updated maybe three days ago or so.

Perusing the log I see that you pushed a cset so that gl2ps.dll gets
properly included in natively mxe-octave built installers.
Just to let you know that with my cross-builds gl2ps.dll didn't get included
either. I think I reported that a few day ago.

Since my email  Michael  G has updated a number of packages mainly for msvc
compatibility.

I saw the same thing with the gl2ps.dll in cross build and fixed it also in
the same change set.
