Here's a status report:

I built an mlton binary for amd64-solaris by cross compiling it with
the C codegen Linux.  The plan was to bootstrap using the C codegen,
and build with the native amd64 codegen after that.

Unfortunately, the binary built with the C codegen does not work
completely.  It works enough to print it's help text and version
number, but trying to compile a hello world application seems to
busyloop forever (at least a few minutes).

My intention was to debug this further, but I got sidetracked with
other things.
