The ocamlrun scripts also look like binary (arch dependent?) stuff

something to be done at the rpm level, but I am far from being an expert
on those issues.
The files which begin with #!/usr/bin/ocamlrun are bytecode files. Even though it's called "bytecode" it isn't portable between architectures. It's not like Java bytecode. So consider these to be like binaries too.

rpm only handles resolving conflicts between 32 and 64-bit ELF files - anything
else is displayed to the user as a conflict. These bytecode files would
fall into that category.

Aha. Is there any flag or setting to change this?

Also it still seems to report conflicts with the ELF binaries. If you want to take a look at some they are in the links below. They look like perfectly ordinary ELF binaries to my untrained eye ...

http://annexia.org/tmp/camlp4oof.opt.x86-64

$ file */usr/bin/camlp4oof.opt
