Re: very elusive ml-build issue

Dave,

can you try the following:

Edit bin/.link-sml by changing the last line into

   exec "$RUN" @SMLverbose @SMLboot="$BOOT" @SMLheap="$HEAP" "$@"

(i.e., add @SMLverbose after "$RUN").

Then re-run the ml-build command for your project.  You should see a
log of what is being loaded, executed, and linked by the runtime
system during link time. The very last line should read something like

   [Loading .cm/x86-unix/727-export.sml]

where 727 is some random number.  The execution of the code in this
file is what triggers a call of SMLofNJ.exportFn -- which ultimately
should produce the heap image.

Let me know what you see, and maybe we can go from there.
