The actual issue will probably be reported in

/usr/local/src/mercury-srcdist-rotd-2022-11-11/install_grade_dir.asm_fast.par.gc.decldebug.stseg/library/integer.err

(or possibly one of the other .err or .dep_err files in the that
directory.)

Mixing .par and .debug (or .decldebug) grades isn't really supported, so
if I had to hazard a guess that's likely to be the issue here.
