I thus consider this bug closed. I will close the corresponding entry in the BTS in a few days.

And what does this prove? AFAIK, Pcaml is the anchor module for syntax extensions. It is a preloaded part of the camlp4 binary. One never does -linkpkg for a syntax extension, because the extensions are dynamically loaded into camlp4. The only point I see is that one cannot emulate mkcamlp4. But that would be a new feature, and not a bug.
