Hi Tobias, Thank you for telling me. I thought I had gotten the 
conditions just right, at least for the
mercury-minimal compiler, but it seems there is more work to be done! 
Yes, leave this bug open
and I will investigate. I am trying my best to keep the changes 
contained and well tested to my
computers to prevent over-working the build server, so I appreciate 
patience as mercury is turning
out to be somewhat convoluted. :)

If others are following the progress here, please feel free to post 
suggestions and patches. I will
have to investigate this probably tomorrow or over the weekend.
