I noticed there are some static libraries(.a) installed with ocaml, for example, /usr/lib/ocaml/bigarray.a. What's the purpose of those static libraries? Thanks a lot.
They contain (natively) compiled OCaml code. An OCaml library compiled in native mode (usually) consists of a .a and a .cmxa file, the former containing OCaml-specific information.
They are not to be confused with lib*.a files, which contain compiled C stubs, and are needed for generating native-code executables, and bytecode ones in -custom mode.
