I was a bit hesitant about 4.05 since this ppx-deriving issue affects quite a lot of stuff that I'm personally interested in, but I guess it'll be fixed soon based on what I linked above. So if you are all happy I will push my 4.05 updates to alioth git and Debian experimental next week. (Please say so if you're not!)

I think that s390x fix was included in 4.05 already. So far there are two distinct build errors:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ocaml&suite=experimental
I didn't yet look into the *-kfreebsd errors, but the arm64/s390x errors are because of
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/commit/54e6aecd773d9c01afa45e5717de84426897e177#diff-b6c212b4a41f6da19f226804bdd3ee99
i.e. they're no longer installing a symlink libasmrunp.a -> libasmrun.a on platforms that don't support gprof profiling.
The cleanest way I can see of fixing this, is to:
- include config/Makefile (which defines PROFILING=true or false) in debian/ocamlinit.mk, and then add some more sed rules
- however this would require us to run ocamlinit-stamp *after* config-stamp.
- I'm also not sure how this would interact with dh_ocamlinit, in case other ocaml projects want to also do this conditioning
Any other suggestions?
