As contrary to that 32-bit version is built normally on the same platform.

Hi,

What does building modules (Internals) mean?
Do you mean when the file compiler/modules.m is being compiled?

At what stage of compilation is this happening? When Mercury is being compiled
to C code, or when the C code is being compiled to object code.

It would be helpful if you could provide a copy of the output of the build process

Sorry, I'm newbie in Mercury just starting to use, but looks like it have problems during building modules in library subdirectory using "mmc".

You can find building process log in attachment build.log.bz2.
At this time I've limited memory usage to 1.5 GB to avoid breaking of other processes. Please see emerge_start.log.bz2 for info.
config.log.bz2 - is copied and compressed from topdir.

The entire configuration process looks very odd for that type of machine.
My guess is that it is something to do with the way the Gentoo package is running the
build process.

I think this should be reported as a bug in the Gentoo Mercury package, via bugs.gentoo.org.
