Why are you using sudo for this?  It shouldn't be needed, and I would certainly recommend that you get out of the habit of building software while running as root.

The package dbus fails to build if not compiled as root. The errors I get are:

    Not installing /Users/mac6-user1/mxe/mxe-octave-anirudha/usr/x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.1/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper binary setuid!   
    You'll need to manually set permissions to root:messagebus and permissions 4750

It is possibe to run only "sudo make dbus" while building the rest of the packages with "make octave", but it will require the build process to be stopped at least once.
