I started working on porting flexdll-0.31, but the testsuite is failing with "cannot relocate, target is too far" errors; IIUC the issue has to do with our use of the medium code model. In the meantime, the primary use of OCaml on supported platforms is native code compilation, so I suggest we make this stable on x86_64. > Both packages include labltk. Are you sure? AFAICS it's only in the x86_64 package. Because of the extra dependencies, for the next release, I suggest making a separate ocaml-labltk package with usr/bin/labltk and usr/lib/ocaml/labltk/ (and usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlllabltk.so on x86), along with adding --exclude=*labltk* to ocaml_base_CONTENTS. We do a similar thing with Python and Ruby's Tcl/Tk support. Yaakov
