Dave,
One other observation. As Apple indicated in my radar Problem ID: 9521882,
"ocaml i386 linkage regression in Xcode 4.0.x",
this bug is fixed in Xcode 4.2 (as tested on SL). The ocaml-3.12.1-1 package
now builds without linkage errors on i386 10.6 fink
using Xcode 4.2 with any compiler (clang, gcc-4.2 or llvm-gcc-4.2). Yet another
reason to support the Xcode 4.2 release and
encourage folks to migrate off of Xcode 4.0.
