Is there a reason why you use those deprecated software? Ocaml 3.11 and
Cil 1.3.7 have both been released a few time ago.

I'm facing legacy system, which is built with Ocaml 3.08 and Cil-1.3.4. Since a 
lot of interfaces have been changed in Cil-1.3.7, if I insist on Cil-1.3.7, 
there will be trouble in bulk waiting for me (in fact , I just tried Cil-1.3.7 
before , and so it is). You see , I have to no choice for this.

Moreover, what do you want to do with libcil.so? Shared libraries are
tricky in Ocaml because of static type-checking:

The libcil.so is the prerequisite for the legacy system. I don't know why it's 
needed. But without it , it just can't build the system.

If you used an up-to-date Ocaml, you might consider Dynlink (available
in both byte-code and native mode ― native one not available in 3.08):
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Dynlink.html

I see Dynlink can handle with the byte-code dynamic loading, but I'm just 
confused with how to use it. And Is there any possibility to let me get the 
libcil.so ?

By the way, did the Cil core-team considered using it to load modules
dynamically? It would make Cil much more modular.
