Sorry, I have partly misled what you say.

For 4.4, to build flawless octave windows binary with 64bit index, we need
--enable-fortran-int64 for mxe.

Without  --enable-fortran-int64, build with 64 bit index gives broken binary.

Two options exist for 64 bit binary for  mxe cross build for windows of octave 
4,4.
1. disable 64 bit index
2. enable 64 bit index and other libraires are also buit 64 bit index

For case 2, other libraires are also buit 64 bit index, but it has not well 
tesed at the moment,


Perhaps thus the developer selected the first.

Again this is mere my gnuess.
