I did succeed with cross-compiling on today using rotd-2005-01-25, I 
did fail on trying it with "rotd-2005-01-23", but perhaps it is 
related to the mono-install which has been done in between.

Some Clarifications:

1. It is not required to have an native mmc installed for building the 
cross-compiler.

2. It is required to compile the native version also, since in 
"lib/mercury/bin/i586-pc-mingw32" the executables "mercury_compile"
"mercury_profile" are generated as Windows EXE, mmc does fail until 
they are replaced by the executables from the native build.

After that the compiler did run and my first test programm did work 
also - success.
