This is because ocamlrpcgen is compiled with ocamlc -custom. It
generates an ELF binary which contains the interpreter, and the bytecode
in a section which is removed when the program is stripped... See
#256900. You override is thus justified here.

Uploaded! As I explained before, I think that you could remove the
control.in (and the corresponding target in rules).

I don't know if this is currently possible, but it would certainly be a
nice feature.
