I wonder if it would be easier for you to download a pre-built version of
octave. For example, the Cygwin environment has an option to use Octave;
see cygwin.com for details.

What are you using to provide a POSIX-like shell on Windows? Again, my
recommendation would be to use cygwin, which provides a working port of
bash and does not suffer from this problem in the case where a configure
script needs to run.
