I have to admit that I don't understand why OCaml upstream is so hostile against other architectures. They have removed basically every architecture from native support except for x86_64, arm64, ppc64el, riscv64 and s390x and they also refusing to add new ones like loongarch64. Plus, they're making it hard to use the byte compiler. Really strange attitude towards downstreams. But I guess I'll just ignore OCaml stuff for now. Adrian -- .''`.
