mxe-octave: build of default branch fails with "unable to deduce 'const auto' 
from 'octave::sys::popen2'"

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=47968


A patch in the comment #7 is required current default branch build on octave on 
windows.
Both mxe and windows native build.

Is there any reason that the patch is not attached to the branch?
