[MLton-user] trouble building from svn on Mac OS X

[John Reppy]

Unfortunately, Apple's version of gcc doesn't understand -fgnu89-inline.

 From the discussion at http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg09743.html 
,
it appears that Apple's compilers differ in subtle, but unfortunate,  
ways from
the regular gcc on this issue.
