OCaml package has been modified to drop ia64, arm and alpha from native
compilers. This version has not been released yet, and should fix the
felix problem.
However, i think we should not upload it before transition. If dropping
felix is enough, we should go for it. Once ocaml will have migrate to
testing, we should upload the new version with a reduced set of native
arches. It is a big changes and should be done only after the migration.
FYI, i drop these arches because of these bugs:

Julien Cristau and Samuel Mimram suggest me to drop arm and alpha (i
want to only drop ia64 at the beginning).
