standard yes.

mex are special Matlab compatible ones, in theory they should
work with both Matlab and Octave...

I noticed that outside cygport, the problem do not arise.

I am also investigating why tsa mex were not changed, and something is 
clearly wrong in the octave-forge build system

$ file *.mex
covm_mex.mex:       ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 
(SYSV), dynamically linked, 
BuildID[sha1]=0x7b9f63a496a41bb490ebb7d6239da5c7dbb2e130, not stripped
sumskipnan_mex.mex: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 
(SYSV), dynamically linked, 
BuildID[sha1]=0x38057facd70b6f315b722c6749d6b872d425b619, not stripped

while before
$ file *.mex
covm_mex.mex:       PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386, for MS 
Windows
sumskipnan_mex.mex: PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386, for MS 
Windows

it seems a upstream package bug....
