Well, a bug in GCC 3.2, but it could also be a problem in ocaml that the
gcc 3.2 change brought to light. I think gcc 3.2 is more strict in what
it does support.

I have a full ocaml build (upto the problem) on my vore account,
together with the build log. 

Also, please CC me (and the list maybe ?) about this. You could also CC
Xavier, or the 1521 bug in the ocaml bts, altough i don't know how you
do the latest.
