You're right (excepting that the right url for the buildd log is [1]).
Unfortunately, there's not much we can do. It is a known bug in OCaml
which has already been forwarded upstream. For now, if the compilation
of mldonkey fails in native mode then it is retried in byte mode. So, it
shouldn't be a major problem wrt mldonkey.

Cheers,

Samuel.
