>From INSTALL_CVS:
#          Note also that occasionally changes made to the compiler mean
#          that installing from a stage 1 build will fail, even when the
#          compiler is fine.  In such cases the only way to install the
#          compiler is from the stage 2 directory.

If the `mmake install' installed a new compiler, running `mmake realclean',
then repeating the installation process should work.
