Humm, in fact i think that the ocaml package should stop building ocamlopt for alpha, if it is really failing (i feel that this error comes from libasmrun, which is part of ocaml). I think, i will wait till the release of ocaml 3.09.1 to take a decision, but this decision will be made on ocaml itself (no more support for native compilation on alpha). Considering the fact that the compilation is failing without warning, you are absolutely right, it should fail earlier in the build process. I will fix it ASAP, by adding a test in the rules, to check the presence of mlnet at the end of the compilation. The upstream Makefile is ignoring too much things, but it is complicated to touch this kind of stuff.
