Unfortunately, the installation of "pcre2-utils" was not sufficient, the
error message is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and
header files installed
make: *** [/home/spofahl/hg/mxe-octave/hg-octave-dist.mk:34:
hg-octave-dist] Fehler 1
(base) X6630G:~/hg/mxe-octave$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I will try to sort this out as well.
