Description:

With ocaml-compiler-libs 4.06.0-1, when I compile OCaml packages
through opam 1.2.2-4 I get errors of missing `*.cmxa` files from
`/usr/lib/ocaml/compiler-libs/`. My guess is that ony bytecodes files
are packaged but not native object files.

Steps to reproduce:
Install ocaml, ocaml-compiler-libs and opam and try:

$ opam intall utop

The following actions will be performed:
∗ install ocaml-migrate-parsetree 1.0.7 [required by lwt]
∗ install ppx_tools_versioned 5.1 [required by lwt]
∗ install lwt 3.2.1 [required by utop]
For the PPX, please install package lwt_ppx
For Lwt_log and Lwt_daemon, please install package lwt_log
∗ install lwt_react 1.1.0 [required by utop]
∗ install lambda-term 1.12.0 [required by utop]
∗ install utop 2.0.2

Just tripped up on this while trying to update the AUR package for ocaml-migrate-parsetree, it took me quite a while to figure out that this was in fact a packaging problem. It seems that during the packaging process for ocaml, the compiler-libs directory is completely removed, but during the packaging process for ocaml-compiler-libs, only some of the contents of that directory are restored and as a result some required files are then missing from the resulting package, including the /usr/lib/ocaml/compiler-libs/ocamlcommon.cmxa needed by ocaml-migrate-parsetree.

I have a simple fix for the bug, which is to add every library object
file from `ocaml-4.06.0/compilerlibs/*` into the package. With that,
jbuilder doesn't complain anymore from missing files.

FWIW, in addition to ocaml-migrate-parsetree I’m also unable to update AUR package ocp-build because of this.
