I started with a natty chroot, which I upgraded to oneiric. Upgrading
gcc requires upgrading binutils, which I was avoiding.

However, now that I've identified the issue, I can tell you that the bug
occurs in a freshly debootstrapped oneiric chroot, and disappears after
downgrading binutils to 2.21.51.20110421-6ubuntu1.

Title:
  all native ocaml programs segfault on armel

Status in “ocaml” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ocaml” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Starting from version 2.21.52.20110606-1ubuntu1 (in oneiric), all
  programs produced by ocamlopt segfault on Ubuntu/armel. The problem
  disappears after downgrading binutils to 2.21.51.20110421-6ubuntu1.

  Steps to reproduce: echo > empty.ml && ocamlopt empty.ml && ./a.out

  Using the "-S" option of ocamlopt might be useful, to have a look at
  the generated assembly code, but I don't know what to look for... I
  hope someone more familiar with binutils code can help.

  I found that while investigating the recent build failures of ocaml
  stuff or armel. Everything works find in the armel port of Debian.
