First all, i know is not allowed open bugreport for outdated package, but in this case is for add option in the next release


some programs with ocaml needed for build, says need recompile ocaml with -fPIC

please add -fPIC to configure

if not:

/usr/bin/ocamlc.opt -w -3 -linkall -o ocamlpp.byte \
-custom bigarray.cma unix.cma str.cma nums.cma -ccopt "-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" -ccopt "-pthread" \
\
\
\
\
\
\

-cclib "-lz -lbz2 " \
-I build tools/ocamlpp.cmo
