This was indeed ocaml version problems and fairly easy to
fix. I copied the 10.7 ocaml.{info,patch} files to my local
10.4 tree on my 10.6 system. The info file already listed
10.6, and indeed it built fine. I then rebuilt lablgl-x11
and lablgtk2 and unison in that order. And now unison works
between my 10.9 and 10.6 systems.
So I guess the newer ocaml just needs to propagate to the
10.4 tree, and everything that build-depends on it needs to
be told to depend on the new version and revision bumped to
force a rebuild? I don't know how many other packages need
ocaml though, perhaps they don't all play nicely with the
new version in the 10.4 tree. I can test things on 10.6 if
that will help.
