Grumble, grumble. I really hate it when dwmw2 uses mostly unrelated
issues as a soapbox.
The simple fact is that we cannot do arch-specific requires without file
dependencies, and since ocaml doesn't "link" to any shared libraries,
we'd be really fudging it here. We could solve the problem by adding a
Requires: %{_libdir}/ocaml on arch-specific ocaml packages, but it will
mean that every ocaml program installs slowly. Or, we could hack around
this with %{_bitsize} macro defines and provides (believe it or not, I'd
actually prefer this).
Either way, I don't think it prevents these updates from going in, and
should be handled as a separate issue.
