Thanks for the note and I've just bumped coq to 8.1pl1.

ml@g.o folks!

Unfortunately, coq-8.1pl1 badly fails to compile with ocaml-3.10.0;
the patch posted on the coq website for ocaml-3.10.0 doesn't seem
to work, but since I don't know ocaml at all it is hard to tell
for me at the moment what the problem is. I'll try to have a look at
it sometime but due to me not knowing ocaml at all this one may
be difficult to fix.

Thanks,
Markus

imho don't waste your time doing this, it's definitely not a trivial thing to fix and afaik upstream has been working on it. The patch posted is supposed to be used with dev-ml/camlp5 but I've heard it still has issues with it. I'd say just wait for a new release, ocaml 3.10 still has other issues that block its unmasking, so one more or one less... And thanks for bumping coq !

in the meantime.
