Thanks for digging into this a bit more, I had ran out of patience about 
that... anyway I have fixed it properly now and pushed it to experimental.

Sadly we now have one new failure, on arm64:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ocaml&arch=arm64&ver=4.05.0-5&stamp=1500739972&raw=0

E: Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

Even though this was built in experimental, it was built with the binutils from 
sid:

[..]
Get:21 http://mirror.netcologne.de/debian unstable/main arm64 binutils-dev 
arm64 2.28-6 [2182 kB]
[..]
Selecting previously unselected package binutils-dev.
Preparing to unpack .../19-binutils-dev_2.28-6_arm64.deb ...
Unpacking binutils-dev (2.28-6) ...
[..]

This did not happen with the previous builds, and I didn't change anything 
relating to arm64.

However after reading https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7585 I wonder if 
this is just the same issue? Apparently ocaml will generated aarch64 
instructions that on some corner cases (which I don't understand) are incorrect 
and the new binutils simply rejects these? Perhaps with the old binutils, these 
same faulty corner cases will sometimes result in these test suite timeouts?
