So I tried this, moving dllunix.so from 0x3e6440000 down to 0xe6440000:

$ rebase -i /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so
/usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so        base 0x0003e6440000 size 0x0004b000

$ rebase -b 0xe6440000 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so

$ rebase -i /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so
/usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so        base 0x0000e6440000 size 0x0004b000

The build still failed, so I moved it down further, to 0x06440000. After that
the build still failed but on a different DLL,
/usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllcamlstr.so.  So I rebased that one too, down to
0x06510000.  And finally the build succeeded!  (Well, it still failed, but in a
source code problem, not a DLL problem.)

So thank you! to everyone who helped on this. I'm just a poor package maintainer
and this stuff is a bit over my head.

Damien: OCaml is broken OOTB in x86_64. dllunix.so and dllcamlstr.so need to be
rebased before it will work.
