When I added "GRADE=reg.gc" to the Mmake.params and reran "make", it
compiled all the way through, did the installation and only failed
trying to "make clean" as follows :

   gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mercury-compiler-0.10.1/boehm_gc'
   rm -rf Release
   rm -f libgc.a libgc.so libpar_gc.a libpar_gc.dll
           cd scripts; for file in *.in; do rm -f `basename ile .in`; done
           rm -f Mmake.common runtime/mercury_conf.h
           rm -f boehm_gc/mercury_boehm_gc_conf.h bindist/bindist.build_vars
           rm -f config.cache config.status config.log
           MMAKE_DIR=`pwd`/scripts scripts/mmake  clean
   /tmp/mmake22798-0/mmake:569: Mmake.common: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
   if [ -f ./config.status ]; then \
           ./config.status --recheck; \
   else \
           echo "======> You need to run configure!"; \
           exit 1; \
   fi
   ======> You need to run configure!
   gmake: *** [config.status] Error 1
   make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.

The compiler seems to work (somewhat), since "mmake depend" and
"mmake" in the samples directory runs all the way through!  

Oddly enough, the resulting executables do not run . . .

Could there an environment variable set by mmake that I do not have in
my environment ?

Great!  Just let me know where to get it when it is time to try it.
