Just by way of confirmation, I am building Felix with Ocaml 3.09 on
an old alpha on the Sourceforge compile farm. [Its old.. gcc 2.95 is the
system compiler, luckily it has gcc 3.0 because Felix won't build with
2.95] It's a Debian box.
I sure don't recommend this machine .. took ages to build Ocaml
(not sure how long .. I fell asleep in the middle ..)
However the generated native code does run correctly.
