Medwards, this is a typical case of the upstream build system being broken and not knowing or caring about architectures without native code compiler, at least this is how it seemed to me from a cursory glance at the generated Makefile. I may be wrong though. The Makefile has indeed targets for native code .cmx and bytecode .cmo, but seem to lack a global choosing mechanism for those, that is a call to make lib would build the bytecode and a call to make lib_opt would build the native code, or something such. Could you have a look at this, and report back on what you found, so we can go forward with fixing this RC bug ? Friendly, Sven Luther
