I'm not familiar with that. I assume you started with the github version
of Coccinelle. Then ./autogen and ./configure. Then make. A recent
version of OCaml would indeed be good. Maybe running make distclean
before ./autogen would be good. The inconsistencies suggest that you have
some old compiled code hanging around. The build infrastructure has
changed a lot recently, so it might not be managing code that predates the
changes in a way that you would expect.
