Bug#624533: [mingw32-ocaml] please provide mingw-w64-ocaml
Thank you for this very good report and for trying. I will make sure
that I take this in consideration for the next upload.
Actually, if you are interested in maintaining the package, I would be
pleased to add you to the uploaders.

> The current mingw32-ocaml uses the old gcc-mingw32 package.
> In unstable we have gcc-mingw-w64 lately which can build both win32 and
> win64 binaries, and is based on a more recent GCC (4.5.2).

> edit debian/control, and replace gcc-mingw32 with mingw-w64-dev in
> Build-Depends, and replace both gcc-mingw32 and mingw32-runtime with
> gcc-mingw-w64 (which depends on binutils-w64)
