[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55670] [mxe octave] of-control-1-deprecated.patch makes control pkg buggy

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #55670 (project octave):

Sorry. This was my doing. And thanks for noticing in time before the release.
It is probably best to revert that patch from MXE Octave.

Without it cross-compiling the default branch for Windows fails however. That
includes the Windows targets of the buildbot.
My motivation for rushing this change into MXE Octave was to get continuous
reports from the buildbots of whether some changes on the default branch
affect cross-compilation for Windows. If there is a longer period during which
they fail, it is difficult sometimes to pinpoint a changeset that caused a
regression.
I still hope that at some point we will be able to run the test suite (maybe
even including the packages) for the cross-builds. 

To avoid similar issues in the future, we could maybe have a stable and
default branch of MXE Octave that target the corresponding Octave branches.
But that might be over-kill.
Any thoughts?
