Libraries can force custom mode executables. Therefore, I think they should also be checked. This check is quite easy using the ocamlobjinfo tool: it prints "Force custom: YES" when given a faulty .cma. BTW, on my system: for u in /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/**/*.cma; do ocamlobjinfo $u|sed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@$u: @"; done|grep 'Force custom: YES' returns: /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/bjack/bjack.cma: Force custom: YES /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/ssl/ssl.cma: Force custom: YES /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/ssl/ssl_threads.cma: Force custom: YES Cheers, -- Stéphane Glondu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
