Hi,
Thanks for your report. There are indeed two separate issues, one for
armel, and one for the other architectures.
The armel issue is an obus issue: configure detects that armel is a native
architecture and therefore builds native files. However, as camlp4
depends on dynlink, and armel doesn't have native dynlink, it fails to
build. Forcing a non-native build on architectures without natdynlink
fixes the issue.
For the other arches, the problem is that camlp4 now unconditionnally
depends on Dynlink, whether the architecture have natdynlink or
not. This change (which I couldn't trace, but surely is an ocaml
upstream change) wasn't reflected in the METAS/META.camlp4 file, and
now camlp4.lib fails to link on non-natdynlink architectures.
To see the bug, e.g. on a mipsel qemu:

nicolasd@debian:~$ ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.12.0
# #use topfind;;
- : unit = ()
Findlib has been successfully loaded. Additional directives:
#require package;; to load a package
#list;; to list the available packages
#camlp4o;;to load camlp4 (standard syntax)
#camlp4r;;to load camlp4 (revised syntax)
#predicates p,q,...;; to set these predicates
Topfind.reset();; to force that packages will be reloaded
#thread;; to enable threads

# #camlp4o;;
/usr/lib/ocaml/camlp4: added to search path
/usr/lib/ocaml/camlp4/camlp4o.cma: loaded
Error: Reference to undefined global `Dynlink'
--8--
Attached is a patch for findlib, I didn't commit this as I'm not certain
this is the way to go. But anyway after changing the META.camlp4 file
the obus FTBFS goes away.
Thanks,

Bug#630320: obus: FTBFS on several architectures: can't find Dynlink
Package: obus Version: 1.1.2-1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source Builds of obus are failing on armel, ia64, mips, and s390 with errors about being unable to find Dynlink; the armel build fails with File _none_, line 1, characters 0-1: Error: No implementations provided for the following modules: Dynlink referenced from /usr/lib/ocaml/camlp4/camlp4lib.cmxa(Camlp4) Command exited with code 2. and the other three fail with File _none_, line 1, characters 0-1: Error: Error while linking /usr/lib/ocaml/camlp4/camlp4lib.cma(Camlp4): Reference to undefined global `Dynlink' Command exited with code 2. (The remaining architectures fail because they assume a writable home directory, which I'll report separately.) Could you please take a look?
