By default, the current version of Mercury only installs the trseg
versions of the trailing grades, not the tr ones.
(Having a fixed-sized trail is not useful in practice.)
The Mmakefile in this directory predates the addition of trseg grades.

Returning to your original problem, I suggest that you don't use the
Mmakefile in extras/reference to build that library --  the Mmakefile
seems horribly out-of-date in many respects.  You can use mmc --make to
build and install the library in only those trseg grades that are
installed by doing:

    $ mmc --libgrades-include-component trseg 	\
          --extra-library-header c_reference.h 	\
 	 --install-prefix <dir>                 \
          --make libglobal.install

That should be somewhat more reliable that then mmake based approach.
(Set <dir> to whatever the installation directory should be.)
This above also installs c_reference.h which was something that the
Mmakefile neglected to do.

I will replace the Mmakefile in that directory with something more
appropriate to the current version of Mercury shortly.
