I agree, but we should also ask on the caml-list, and maybe file a
request for help on WNPP, if there are any HPPA users who would be
seriously inconvenienced and/or could help patch it.  (Of course if
upstream won't accept a patch, even this would be pointless.)

Seems reasonable indeed. Unless someone shows up and want to fix it. I don't
think we lose much, as hppa is definitively not the plateform of choice for
having compute-intensive ocaml apps running.

Upstream has responded; they won't fix this, and they no longer
maintain the native code compiler on HPPA.  I susgest to disable it in
the Debian package.
