[MLton] self-compiling failed

[Baojian Hua]

hi, all,

I recently self-compiled the latest svn mlton source, but I've
gotten a failure. The reason is that the control/version.sml
contains some non-ascii characters. And I'm building on
Debian/Linux, so I guess the reason is that the BUILDDATE
info is automatically generated from the host, so it's highly
platform dependent (and cause the error).

Btw: after some modification of the source, the self-compling
succeeds, but the executable prints:

"incorrect args from shell script"


Am I forgetting something?
