No.  mmc --make is working fine.  The problem is that linking Mercury 
libraries with `-l' as opposed to `--ml' as you have done above is that
it is causing the compiler to invoke the linker in such a way that it
uses the shared versions of the Mercury libraries.  The resulting mixture
of PIC and non-PIC code doesn't work on x86 machines because of the way
the register %ebx is used.  (It works fine on other architectures).

Note, using `--ml' probably won't work in the above example either since
that option assumes that the Mercury library in question has been 
installed (which is not the case here).
