I've recompiled all OCaml-related packages with some updates (most
notably, OCaml 3.12.1, but also ocamlnet 3.2.1), in a test repository
available at [1] (still incomplete). It appears that most rdeps compile
with no changes (failures include approx, galax and xmlrpc-light;
failure logs are available at the same location).

All the broken packages are maintained by our team; you can directly fix
them in the git repositories.

Great.
