These are the benign 'command not found' warnings mentioned on the wiki
page.  You can safely ignore them, as they did not abort the compilation.

This is saying that you can't execute mllex, which is required to build
the lexing tables from the ml.lex description.  mllex should be installed
at /usr/bin/mllex.

That is incorrect.  You need to have a directory with a mlton executable
on your path.  The Wiki page is saying that the source directory's
/build/bin path is automatically added to your path during the make.

That shouldn't affect anything.  The directory you added to your path has
no mlton executables.
