I just thought that, for every architecture a, there is ocamlopt for
target
architecture a if and only if there is ocamlopt.opt running on
architecture a.

Yes, that would be a failure. Would that be a problem? AFAIK, it
wouldn't prevent passage to testing when binaries for the architecture
in question never existed.

Maybe Sven knows? I'm not sure whether all the autobuilders are active.
ia64 is, hppa might be not?
