[m-dev.] Problem installing Mercury on ceres

[Ralph Becket]

The Mercury build in 
/home/ceres/public/mercury-latest/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/mmc
was created on June 30 and it's broken.

I checked out a fresh copy on ceres in

/tmp/mercury-compiler-rotd-2003-12-21

then did

./configure --prefix=/home/ceres/public/mercury-latest/i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-libgrades=asm_fast.gc,hlc.gc

then

make install

Which led to the following error:

mmc --no-unboxed-float --conf-low-tag-bits 2 --bits-per-word 32
--bytes-per-word 4 --compile-to-c --grade asm_fast.gc      --config-file

[and much, much more in the same vein...]

If someone knowledgeable about the lowest-levels could take a peek at
this file I would be very grateful (it would be excellent to have
Mercury working on ceres again!)
