Confirmed; ocaml-4.09 allowed forcing safe strings with ./configure --enable-force-safe-string, but 4.10 and up default to enabling it and require ./configure --disable-force-safe-string to get the old behavior back: /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang $ diff -u \ <(egrep '^[^#]*force-safe-string' ocaml-4.09.0/work/ocaml-4.09.0/configure) \ <(egrep '^[^#]*force-safe-string' ocaml-4.10.0/work/ocaml-4.10.0/configure) --- /dev/fd/63 2020-10-16 17:14:37.009920117 -0600 +++ /dev/fd/62 2020-10-16 17:14:37.009920117 -0600 @@ -1 +1 @@ - --enable-force-safe-string + --disable-force-safe-string camomile-0.8.5 requires building with -unsafe-string. There are newer camomile releases that include fixes for this, but they've never been packaged. They use a different build system, using jbuilder, but we have plenty of other dev-ml/* packages that use jbuilder, so that should not be a showstopper. dev-ml/ocaml-gettext has a similar issue - need to update to the latest 0.4.2 to get safe-string support, but that too has changed build systems, to dune. Both camomile and ocaml-gettext are maintainer-needed. It would probably be nontrivial to update and test w/the new build systems; I can't spell ocaml, so not it. In the meantime, either ocaml-4.1[01]* ebuilds could be updated to include --disable-force-safe-string (by default, or w/a USE flag, that these dev-ml/ packages depend on?), or dev-ml/camomile's RDEPEND for ocaml could be updated to =dev-lang/ocaml-4.0* to exclude 4.10+. I see there is a tracker for breakage with >=ocaml-4.09: https://bugs.gentoo.org/737154 Perhaps there needs to be another for >=ocaml-4.10, with both this and ocaml-gettext (at least).

(In reply to Hank Leininger from comment #2) Thanks again Hank. We meet again re OCaml! > I see there is a tracker for breakage with >=ocaml-4.09: > https://bugs.gentoo.org/737154 > > Perhaps there needs to be another for >=ocaml-4.10, with both this and > ocaml-gettext (at least). Filed bug 749606 and fixed camomile, ocaml-gettext. :)
Thanks, that worked! ...with one wrinkle, when building the new ocaml-gettext, but I'll file a separate bug about that.

OK, I isolated the problem - and found that maaaaybe it's already fixed; created: https://bugs.gentoo.org/749149 Thanks!
I am not sure whether this bug or fix is related, I just found the reference in the following commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=236ecc6d app-emulation/libguestfs-1.38.6-r100 fails to build with the ocaml use flag against dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.4.2. The build fails with: ocamlfind: Package `gettext-stub' not found Downgrading to dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7-r2 fixes the build failure.

Could you file a new bug just to make it easier to keep track? Thank you!
Sure, filed as bug #762613.
