First, sparc is not currently a Release architecture, so this is not as
important as it used to be.

Second, we simply need to upload the fixed version (-5 prepared by Julien,
Samuel can you upload it ?), and then ask Steve to binNMU retrigger all ocaml
packages on sparc, and the problem should go away.

Not sure if this introduces an ABI breakage or not though.
