Why run sudoed? I'm running them as user and before_install.sh works
simply well.
BTW, the build script is failing, for me, to build grantlee,
googlemaps and subsurface itself; but doesn't seem sudo related.

Salvador, why does this have to be a static MXE build instead of a shared one? That duplicates a LOT of things and would make the MXE container significantly bigger...

Yes, it is easy to integrate; before_install.sh requires little
changes and travisbuild.sh just a parameter in the command line.
What seems impossible ATM is get a shared MXE build. The package is
listed only static in the build matrix in the mxe site. I'm going to
try going back in the mdbtools git tree but I don't have good
expectations.
I've built a tarball without mdbtools (68.7 Mb), but couldn't try it
yet because of the other failures.

Best regards.
