MLton, by default, limits itself to using 85% of the total RAM available on your
machine.  In order to use more than this, you need to pass the max-heap runtime
argument.  To do this when recompiling MLton, you can change the FLAGS line in
src/mlton/Makefile to something like the following.

FLAGS = @MLton max-heap 450m -- -v -o $(AOUT)

I know that 450m is enough to recompile MLton, but you can probably squeeze by
with close to 400m.
