The OCaml part of febootstrap does not build on architectures without a
native code compiler:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=febootstrap&arch=mips&ver=3.8-1&stamp=1314125941

Apparently, OCAMLBEST has been set to "byte" by the AC_PROG_OCAML macro.

While on architectures with a native code compiler "ocamlfind opt" works
as expected, "ocamlfind byte" does not.

Is OCAMLBEST being used in the wrong context or is this a bug in the
/usr/share/ocaml-autoconf/ocaml.m4 or in findlib?

Cheers,
-Hilko
