You need way more info than this. Why were no binary packages available? What is this conflicting with?

Edit: I don't even see the file in question in the package, so it's probably a byproduct of you not building in a clean chroot.

No binary packages were available because none were on the Arch Linux mirrors from which pacman was trying to download ocaml-findlib.

dell:/home/jefbed$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlbuild/META
/usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlbuild/META is owned by ocamlbuild 0.9.3-1Q

The -cC flags to makepkg ensure building in a clean chroot, deleting the build directory before and after build.

ocamlbuild, an ocaml build tool, is regenerating one of its own files at build time, pulling it into this package.

Failure log before fix, tail:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
ocaml-findlib: /usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlbuild/META exists in filesystem
