Package: ocaml Version: 3.12.1-4 Severity: Important The configure script doesn't get the build triplet as an argument so it uses internally uname -m to get the arch, thus on a 32-bit chroot on a 64-bit system it reports x86_64. This leads to BNG_ARCH_amd64 being defined and the build fails when doing 64-bit asm compilations.
The attached simple patch fixes the problem. Regards Konstantinos
