Because of the fickle nature of OCaml's ABI, all OCaml libraries have to be rebuilt for every version bump. While there not be much OCaml code in the distro, I have dozens of libraries in Ports which need to be rebuilt. Next time, could you please give me some rebuild time before stabilizing a new version of OCaml? > > Ah, sorry. I didn't realize there would be so many dependencies. Next time I'll warn you in advance. Did you see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00160.html ? Given what Yaakov said, wouldn't it make sense to provide the former ocaml libs and start using a versioned runtime lib approach?
