Mmm, i don't know, if you need to rebuilt whole part of ocaml, i guess you are
better off starting from the source package, not ocaml-source.
I think the ocaml-source package was more for people wanting to extract some
parts of the ocaml source, copy them over or use some symlinks or such, and
use your own makefile, or an adaptation of the makefile in the ocaml sources,
to build the part you need.
I go from the principle, that if you are doing this kind of things, you know
what you are doing anyway.
Also the source files can anyway not be compiled in place or such, since they
are owned by root, and should _not_ be played with (for security reasons and
other such).
