When I try to use ocamlbuild with a custom myocamlbuild.ml I get the following error:

Failure: Cannot found "ocamlbuildlib.cmxa" in ocamlbuild -where directory.
Compilation unsuccessful after building 0 targets (0 cached) in 00:00:00.

/usr/bin/ocamlbuild is a symlink to /usr/bin/ocamlbuild.byte, so it seems incorrect that it depends on a native compiled library.

I am not sure exactly why ocamlbuildlib.cmxa is not installed (it is suppose to be a part of ocaml-nox, which I do have installed), but my thought is that it is because I do not have the ocaml-native-compilers package installed.  The issue is that my system seems to think that ocaml-native-compilers is only available in version 3.09 something whereas all of my other ocaml packages are version 3.10.
