Reproducible: Always The problem seems to be some sed locale issue. My locale settings are a mix of fi_FI.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8. Now, observe the difference between my locale and the C locale: # sed -n -e "s/CAMLprim value \([a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_]*\).*/\1/p" array.c caml_array_get_addr caml_array_get_float caml_array_get caml_array_set_addr caml_array_set_float caml_array_set caml_array_unsafe_get_float caml_array_unsafe_get caml_array_unsafe_set_addr caml_array_unsafe_set_float caml_array_unsafe_set caml_make_ caml_make_array # LC_ALL=C sed -n -e "s/CAMLprim value \([a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_]*\).*/\1/p" array.c caml_array_get_addr caml_array_get_float caml_array_get caml_array_set_addr caml_array_set_float caml_array_set caml_array_unsafe_get_float caml_array_unsafe_get caml_array_unsafe_set_addr caml_array_unsafe_set_float caml_array_unsafe_set caml_make_vect caml_make_array So, as a workaround I can emerge ocaml w/ LC_ALL=C.
Oh yes, classic problem from using '[a-z]' instead of equivalence classes. Thanks for reporting this problem; assigning to maintainers.
i've set LC_ALL to C in the ebuilds, it would be better to use :alpha: & friends regexps but there are many of them, thus setting LC_ALL to C seems more robust; please test
