Camomile needed a patch to build on sparc64. They check whether the toolchain is
capable of building native code and then blindly build using ocamlopt anyway.
Patch inline.
I am not sure if we should be concerned by this kind of error, which i
see on both i386 and sparc64:
Fatal error: exception Failure("Broken entry: <NU> /x00
<U0000> NULL (NUL)")

I prefer the ocaml- prefix personally.

Sorry, where does this variable come from? I don't see it.
As for batteries, I used this a fairly heavily (BatMap, BatList,
BatEnum, coprehensions...) for a research project. It seems to work
fine.
