replacing the ocaml .o and .a files with the ones from unstable produces a working binary.
now re-uploading ocaml to build with GCC 4.6. ** Package changed: binutils (Ubuntu Oneiric) => ocaml (Ubuntu Oneiric) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian OCaml Maintainers, which is subscribed to ocaml in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810402 Title: all native ocaml programs segfault on armel Status in “ocaml” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ocaml” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Bug description: Starting from version 2.21.52.20110606-1ubuntu1 (in oneiric), all programs produced by ocamlopt segfault on Ubuntu/armel. The problem disappears after downgrading binutils to 2.21.51.20110421-6ubuntu1. Steps to reproduce: echo > empty.ml && ocamlopt empty.ml && ./a.out Using the "-S" option of ocamlopt might be useful, to have a look at the generated assembly code, but I don't know what to look for... I hope someone more familiar with binutils code can help. I found that while investigating the recent build failures of ocaml stuff or armel. Everything works find in the armel port of Debian.
