Description:
I was rebuilding coq for a version bump when I encountered the error described here: http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5237
It seems that upstream has already patched this and the patch will be included in 3.12.1 but there is no release date for it.
I have attached a the relevant patch along with a diff of the ocaml PKGBUILD which applies it successfully and when I rebuilt coq using the patched ocaml, it worked.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
ocaml 3.12.0
* config and/or log files etc.
coq 8.3pl2 build log: http://pastebin.com/c8dB6z4p
file producing error: http://sprunge.us/HUUN
   0007-Fix-ocamlopt-w.r.t.-binu... (2.2 KiB)
   PKGBUILD.diff (1.4 KiB)

It is currently impossible to compile most OCaml projects in native mode because of this bug. Debian Sid already included this patch in their binary package so it should be safe to do the same IMHO.

I encountered the same problem while trying to build menhir, so I created an AUR package with patch applied (ocaml-patched-binutils). It should be deleted as soon as the patch is applied to extra/ocaml.
