Do you have a bugtracking link or a thread link of the discussion ? 
If it's the only patch
http://git.annexia.org/?p=fedora-mingw.git;a=blob;f=ocaml/mingw32-ocaml-3.11.0%2Bbeta1-combined-Makefile.patch;h=2a2827ac285fb635b70603307b88c9dbfdd1c201;hb=HEAD
that make Xavier scream, I can polish it to conditionally add objects to
