Hello Andreas et al.,
I've integrated the patch and done a few tweaks overall for mcl[1].
Building within sbuild on unstable, I get the following error:
...

I'll leave this CC'd in the list so that someone with more OCaml
experience can suggest a possible solution to this.
Kind regards,

I've ran a diff and generated a patch between the plain 12-068 version
(I cannot find its source on salsa so I just downloaded this tarball
from the author's website but that shouldn't make any difference) and
the mcl clone.
~7,000 lines in the patch all featuring new files and its contents
regarding OCaml support but I will experiment tomorrow and see how
cleanly and effectively I can apply this patch over the newer Debian
packaged mcl.
Sounds promising - thanks a lot
Andreas.
