Yes, but if we disable it on ocaml, you are able to remove that hack, since
the normal byte/native code handling will do the right thing.

Ok.

BTW, apart from the alpha problem, which failed silently and is related to the
out-of-cvs binutils, m68k also failed with :

Which is unnince.

Julien, maybe you could upload a binaryNMU of the alpha package built with the
old binutils as a temporary workaround, and Christian can then build geneweb
natively with it ?
