ocaml-findlib needs to be rebuilt to be compatible with the latest ocaml release.

An example error when building ocaml-ppx_deriving from the AUR:

Error: Files /usr/lib/ocaml/findlib/findlib_dynload.cmxa
and /usr/lib/ocaml/dynlink.cmxa
make inconsistent assumptions over implementation Dynlink

After I rebuilt this package (with some changes required to the PKGBUILD, not sure what changed since the last build to require those, diff attached), the build finished without any issues.
   ocaml-findlib.diff (0.8 KiB)
This task depends upon

Oops, I misclicked when creating the bug, the severity was supposed to be High.

The diff might need some more work, it enables the package to build, but when trying to build flow from the AUR, findlib complains: Package `unix' not found. I'll try to investigate further.

Disregard the diff, look like the build issue was caused by my machine, when I tried rebuilding the package on a different machine, it went through without any issues.

Thanks for reporting and for the patch.

ocaml-findlib has been rebuilt 2022-07-31. Is the patch still needed for ocaml-findlib to work correctly?

As far as I can tell it's not, one of my local machines had some sort of broken ocaml install.
