Did you get a build error in main/fixed? If so then this might explain the
problem. Note also the Makefile for this is a bit dummy at the moment and
doesn't really try and probe the correct install directory for 
liboctave_fixed.dll.a, so you might have to define "--prefix=" for the
configuration of octave-forge...

If its not built its an error. Try typing "make" directly in main/fixed
and see if it generates any error messages..
