.cma files are metadata for bytecode static linking. .cmxa files are metadata for native code static linking. .cmxs files are renamed *.so files and can be used for fully dynamic linking of OCaml native code. Other issues make it difficult to ship dynamically linked binaries of pure OCaml code, so in practice *.cmxs are only used for dlopen-style dynamic loading.
