I didn't mention, that I invoke Mercury from the MinGW MSYS shell and
not from the Windows cmd.exe.

By the way, a sort program is present within my MSYS shell:
$sort --version
sort (GNU coreutils) 5.97
...

After a fresh MinGW installation, the variable $TMP in the MSYS shell
has the value "/tmp".
The directory /tmp is mounted to C:\Users\dirk\AppData\Local\Temp

It seems that some temporary files are stored in $TMP but that there
is a missing slash somewhere.

The compiler error message before my $TMP workaround was
"sort: open failed: C:/Users/dirk/AppData/Local/Tempmtmpml1ugf: No such
file or directory".

Best regards,
Dirk
