Python at least exports flags to extensions, and it uses %extension_ldflags for this purpose. It is been well known that exporting the flags that the interpreter was compiled with itself causes problems, so %extension_cflags/%extension_cxxflags/%extension_ldflags were introduced for this purpose back in 2018 (rhbz#1543394). So the best solution would be to update ocamlopt to use %extension_*flags. (If it cannot be fixed like this, opting out of the package note for ocaml is also an option, but it's not a nice solution. Using %extension_*flags is good for other reasons too.) > But the problem is more general than this too. It also turns up in > some *.pc (pkgconf) files.

Just saying "revert, revert" because some corner case is not satisfied, when a simple opt-out exists, is IMO not useful.
