I was also able to do the following: mumps hello.m which created a mumps.o that I could find no way to link. In this great big world, is there any simple documentation on what the various programs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fis-gtm/V6.2-000_x86_64 actually do, and their options? There's no readme. There are no man pages. I haven't yet been able to convert hello.m to an executable. I completely understand that it's expected anyone interested in mumps was doing it in the 1970's and knows all that stuff already, but it's not quite true, so if you know of any such documentation, please let me know.
