I'm using a stock 2.1.49 from ftp.octave.org.

When I do:
 ./configure --enable-static=no --enable-shared=yes
   or, equivalently (also tested)
 configure --enable-shared --disable-static

And then: make install  - all works fine
If I do:  make install-strip - the libcruft.dll library is missing

On the other hand, the static build works fine.

Tests were done on a Win2K on a P4. The previous test was on
winXP. I don't know why the previous results are different.
I'll try to do some more testing tonight.

Andy
