This is how I build my program:

mmc -j8 -E --make \
    --grade asm_fast.gc.debug.stseg \
    --output-compile-error-lines=200 \
    --cflags "$(pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0)" \
    --cflags "$(pkg-config --cflags mhash)" \
    --ml colipa \
    -lodbc -lpthread -ldl \
    --cflag "-DMODBC_UNIX" --cflag "-DMODBC_MYSQL" \
    `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0` \
    `pkg-config --libs mhash` \
    "$PROG"

Bye
Volker
