/usr/bin/ocamlopt
/usr/bin/ocamldep.opt

etc. get not installed with this version. 3.09.2 is fine. Also I noticed that
the ocaml build script still relies on the X11R6 legacy symlinks, instead using
/usr/include/X11/ and /usr/$(get_libdir)/X11.

does -r1 or emerging it without "test" in your features solves the issue ?

it seems that phreak tracked that one to "make bootstrap" deleting *opt
binaries


Christian, can you confirm this ? I don't understand how "make bootstrap" can
be considered as a test anyway. make compare could be a test, but make
bootstrap seems really weird to me.

Ned (solar) tracked these, yes .. somehow the make bootstrap (that's what
FEATURES=test does) removes the *opt files, and I haven't figured that out.

Yes, FEATURES=-test does it. Wonder why this ebuild got stable without
disabling the test, when this is apparently a known issue...

  11 May 2007; Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org> ocaml-3.09.3.ebuild,
  ocaml-3.09.3-r1.ebuild:
  Dont run make bootstrap for src_test, it deletes ocamlopt, upstream does not
  provide a clean test suite, if we want one we definitely should not use make
  bootstrap, closes bug #159237 and bug #177706

Well the issue is known since Ned tracked these, apparently not so long ago.
And don't ask me why it has gone stable with such a major issue ;)
