The version of tar in /usr/bin/tar on MacOS (10.1) doesn't work properly --
it truncates long path names. Make sure you use GNU tar, which is available
in /sw/bin/gtar, when unpacking the Mercury source or binary distributions.
The latest version of the Mercury compiler (as at 19 May 2004) doesn't compile
with gcc 2.95.2 on MacOS 10.3.3, however it does with gcc 3.4.0.
