Err, ...
1) did you look at the /tmp/camlasm2.s file ?
2) Where can i find the build daemon log, to report this upstream ?
3) What should i do now, because of this bug, ocaml will never enter testing,
and it is not something i can fix. Is it ok if i disable the native code
compiler for arm until this is fixed, If i do this, only the bytecode compiler
will be build (same as on m68k, who don't has a working native code compiler),
and other packages depending on ocaml will only build the bytecode variant of
it. (this will be a bit slower, but will still work).
