Yeps - unavoidable rule number one for all kinds of software
development:
User's binaries must be able to run on as old systems as possible :)

I'm using a 2.2 kernel. I just installed the latest public MLton version
from your homepage - that's the best I have to compile with for now I
guess. Then I tried make inside runtime/ in the source for the
experimental
release with the new gc.c - and now I get:

gc.c: 1063, 1067, 1068, 1071: structure has no field named 'mem_unit'

Should I modify something in gc.c?
