Well, I think its more that most upstream do not see the advantage of
compiling in non-custom mode... What would you tell them ?
The original reason was to avoid unstrippable binaries, which violate
policy (cf. #256900). The fix on OCaml side is simple, but upstream
refused the patch on the grounds that -custom is actually deprecated and
applications using -custom should be fixed instead.

One could also reuse the argumentation of shared library... but this
sounds pitiful here, given lack of support for shared libraries for
OCaml code.
