I don't think anyone has successfully built MLton from SML/NJ in many
years. The only way to do it these days is use an already-built MLton
(if it's an entirely new platform, cross-compiling will work fine).

But MLton is hardly unusual in this respect. SML/NJ requires SML/NJ
to build. GCC requires GCC to build. How does Homebrew deal with those?
