Unable to compile the development version of Euphoria

I have successfully installed Euphoria 4.1.0 and have a working compiler and thus wanted to try to build Euphoria from GIT. I followed the instructions as per configuring etc and the following errors occur:
./euphoria/source/build/mkver "hg" "./euphoria/source/build/ver.cache" "./euphoria/source/build/include/be_ver.h" -DEREL_TYPE="release" abort: no repository found in './euphoria/source' (.hg not found)! Mercurial seems to not be installed, writing unknown be_ver.h
It appears that the above indicates that I may need to have Mercurial set up as well. Is this the case ?

I am running Debian Linux (buster/testing) on a 64 bit machine with kernel 4.17.1. My version of GCC is "gcc (Debian 7.3.0-21) 7.3.0" and my version of libc is "GNU C Library (Debian GLIBC 2.27-3) stable release version 2.27".
Doing a 'man matherr' I see that the following is displayed:
Note: the mechanism described in this page is no longer supported by glibc. Before glibc 2.27, it had been marked as obsolete. Since glibc 2.27, the mechanism has been removed altogether. New applications should use the techniques described in math_error(7) and fenv(3). This page documents the matherr() mechanism as an aid for maintaining and porting older applications.
Does this mean that I need to wait until the code is updated re glibc 2.27 or is there something that I can do so that I can successfully compile the development version of Euphoria ? I am not aware of any package that I could install that would provide backward compatability re the matherr issue and the above errors but if anybody is aware of one I would be most grateful.
