The other changes aren't architecture-specific. However, most problems we had with architecture support in ocaml were due to the toolchain becoming more strict, and not to changes in the ocaml source code itself. These bugs can be uncovered by a simple rebuild with a current toolchain. I guess an upload of the new release to experimental on as many architectures as possible would help making sure it won't happen this time (since the toolchain is now frozen). Cheers, Julien
