ocaml-native-compilers is not the compiler that produce native code,
but the compiler that is compiled in native code. On arch that have a
native code compiler, ocaml-nox does contain a native compiler.

on arch that have natvice code, ocaml-nox can produce both the native
an byte version of spamoracle.  The ocaml-nox build dependency is the
one that give you the posibility to build your package, whatever the
arch your on. If your arch does suport native code, both the arch-all
and native package will be built, and on arch where only the bytecode
is supported, only the arch-all package will be built.
