Notice that the difference between a successful build (i386) :

ocamlopt.opt -warn-error A -inline 9 -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c config.ml
ocamlc -warn-error A -g -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c misc.mli
ocamlopt.opt -warn-error A -inline 9 -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c misc.ml
ocamlc -warn-error A -g -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c timeout.mli

And a failed one (ia64) :

ocamlopt.opt -warn-error A -inline 9 -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c config.ml
ocamlopt.opt -warn-error A -inline 9 -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/camlimages -c misc.ml
File "misc.ml", line 1, characters -1--1:
Could not find the .cmi file for interface misc.mli.

Is that the misc.mli file is not compiled with ocamlc. I don't remember
exactly, but is this not the infamous problem with the missing .depend we have
had on alpha i think ? This is the result of a broken build environment, which
has a .depend somewhere in the places make looks for before looking in the
home directory, and fixed in the -3 package :

  * Added explicit make .depend to avoid some strange .depend to be included
    from random places. Thanks to Julien Cristau and Samuel Mimram for
    investigating this. (Closes: #265212)

I will make an upload asap, and we will see how it goes.

Lamont, i believe your build environment is somewhat fishy though, since a
later rebuild of this package by Goswin seemed to pass just nicely.
