That's great.  But it certainly took a hell of a long time!


What I do is run "pbuilder" which constructs and updates and allows on
to log in to a chroot environment with stable, testing, or unstable.

Strip takes lots of switches and its defaults might be different in
different systems and versions etc.  Maybe you should just tell the
debian scripts to not strip your executable (probably by giving an
option to dh_strip telling it to leave bin/mlton alone) and do it
yourself instead at "debian/rules install" time using carefully
selected switches.

Another possibility: might this have something to do with a library
getting munched, some xxx.a file or something like that?  Or some
library or format incompatibility related to GCC 2.x vs GCC 3.x ?
