Description:   Opened: 2002-05-24 04:18 0000 
dev-lang/ocaml 3.04 does not compile correctly on linuxppc. it is a known bug
to
the ocaml team. it is the command "make opt.opt" in the .ebuild file, which
does
not work on linux ppc (http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200204/msg00176.html).

there are two solutions : 
- avoid "make opt.opt" on linuxppc and wait for the next release of ocaml (in
the actual cvs version of ocaml, the bug is corrected)
- use a patch published by Sven Luther :
  http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200204/msg00177.html
  http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200204/msg00187.html

i have modified (not nicely though) the .ebuild file to apply this patch and
then ocaml emerges correctly.

I'm currently fighting with this ugly patch.  I've gotten it to compile 
several times, but when the patch goes into cvs, something screws it up.  More 
anon.

OK, I turned on my brain and compressed the patch.  It now patches and compiles
on ppc. Thanks for the bug report, Stan - sorry it took a few days to fix.
