Don't include the "all 7z-dist" targets here.  Building the octave 
source distribution from the hg archive must be done as a separate step. 
 Try

  make JOBS=8 hg-octave-dist hg-octave-branch=stable

If that is successful, then you can do

  make all 7z-dist JOBS=8

to build Octave for Windows with all the packages.  Use whatever number 
of jobs makes sense for your hardware.
