I ended up copying some of the rules out of ocamlbuild/ocaml_specific.ml and
replicating it in myocamlbuild.ml. For the archives, a rule "%.m.o" looks like:
(* Copied from ocaml/ocamlbuild/ocaml_specific.ml and modified to add
the output_obj tag *)
let native_output_obj x =
link_gen "cmx" "cmxa" !Options.ext_lib [!Options.ext_obj; "cmi"]
ocamlopt_link_prog
(fun tags -> tags++"ocaml"++"link"++"native"++"output_obj") x
let () =
(* Copied from ocaml/ocamlbuild/ocaml_specific.ml *)
let ext_obj = !Options.ext_obj in
let x_o = "%"-.-ext_obj in
(* Rule to link a module and output a standalone object file *)
rule "ocaml: cmx* & o* -> .m.o"
~tags:["ocaml"; "native"; "output_obj"]
~prod:"%.m.o"
~deps:["%.cmx"; x_o]
(native_output_obj "%.cmx" "%.m.o");
