Hey,
I've fixed most of the other architectures on ocaml 4.03.0, unfortunately armhf is still failing. It looks PIE related:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ocaml&arch=armhf
Running tests from 'tests/asmcomp' ...
make arch codegen

Help with this would be appreciated, I don't really know OCaml that well.
After we do this, we will need to calculate which reverse-dependencies need to be rebuilt. I don't know the right query to input into ben(1), help on that would also be appreciated. Also it still requires 4.02.3 so I would have to temporarily downgrade my system ocaml and hope my opam system switch doesn't mess up in the meantime...
