Follow-up Comment #1:

While you are quite right, but you report several distinct issues here.

1. As to build_packages.m not being up to date: 
This is a duplicate of bug #46761 and some other bug reports. AFAICS in the
development version of (mxe-)Octave, build_packages is largely op to date. It
should also be up-to-date in the octave-4.0.1 binary installer (release
candidate); did you try that one? it's here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/octave-4.0.1-rc1-installer.exe
(beta testers needed !)
Please try that one and report back here if build_packages.m there works fine
for you.

2. The long list of compiler messages and warnings is due to individual
Octave-Forge packages which don't always exactly match the development status
of core Octave; however, that has nothing to do with build_packages.m

It would really help if you could sort out what OF packages give what warnings
and enter separate bug reports for that.
(You see, if an O-F package builds with warnings but otherwise works fine,
Octave developers rather tackle other more urgent issues :-) )
