The Makefile does not know about the LEX variable, and so is trying to
run mllex, not ml-lex.  The easiest way to fix this is to install a
binary MLton package, which will have the needed mllex and mlyacc.
Once you have those, hopefully make and make nj-mlton will work.

Use CM.make "sources.cm"

binutils has the linker.
