On minor point, though: are you aware of other binaries in a similar situation? The patch to enable non-custom build was not trivial and, had I not been upstream as well, I wonder whether an upstream developper would want to work on it or a DD be able to create one alone...
Enabling non-custom build for pure OCaml applications should be trivial. But indeed, if the application has C stubs of its own (I'm not talking about dependencies, here), the build system must be patched somehow to build and use the shared library with C stubs (dll*.so file), which can be quite intrusive. If this is done, it should probably be done in coordination with upstream. But I don't expect upstream to do it on its own... I am under the impression that most people don't care about non-native architectures.
