I just tried your test code under cygwin (with 2.1.40)
and liboctinterp _is_ a dependency

$ mkoctfile --link-stand-alone -loctinterp test.cc
g++: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'

$ ./a.exe
3.000000e+01

$ mkoctfile --link-stand-alone  test.cc
g++: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
test.o(.text+0x95): In function `main':
/home/adler/test.cc:7: undefined reference to `install_types()'
