Update of bug #52397 (project octave):

                 Summary: [mxe-octave]  of-image-1-fixes.patch  is obsolete =>
[mxe-octave]  of-image-1-fixes.patch  is obsolete with image 2.6.2

Follow-up Comment #1:

The file src/of-image-1-fixes.patch fixes two different things.  One of them
is enabling the build in Octave 4.3.  That issue is addressed with the image
package release 2.6.2 and should be removed once mxe-octave is updated to the
latest image package.

However, it also patches out bug #50153 in bwperim.  This patch has been
applied in the default branch of the image package, to be part of the next
minor (not patch) release. I don't quite understand why that one change was
singled out to be included in mxe-octave. If mxe-octave wants to include
unreleased changes, I think it's better that it includes patches from the
stable branch only. Unless there's a reason why that bug fix on bwperim needs
to be included, I think it should be removed too.

A separate note, may be a good idea to separate patches with different
purposes in different files.
