I don't know about the ARM and IA64 problems, but I built ocaml from CVS
HEAD a few days ago on alpha, and ocamlopt.opt was still completely
broken, so I don't think 3.09 will have fixed it. Another problem is
that ocaml 3.08.3-8 on alpha is missing a lot of cmx files, but this
dodn't cause a build failure, so the broken package migrated to testing
before anyone noticed. I guess we either need to find out what the
problem is, or stop building ocamlopt on alpha.
We could probably ask the toolchain or alpha people for help, although I
dont know if any of them is familiar with ocaml :/
Cheers,
Julien
