This would be neat. If you could investigate those in the near future, i will
add those files in the ocaml 3.08.3 upload which will happen nextly.

Well, you should, and David is wrong.

And what do you think it is used for apart from cases like yours ?

Yes, the main reason it is not buildable is because the configure scripts are
not executable, but as i remember, the sources should already have been
configured, and configured to the *EXACT SAME* configure option as the ocaml
built in the ocaml package. Please try using it, and not the hacky way you are
doing now, which will have no chance of making it into an uploaded package (at
least i will boycott such as best i can), and if you have trouble with
ocaml-source, we can fix that.

Nope, not really.
