Bug Description

ocamlcreal_0.7-4 fails to build on amd64, see buildlog http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11886592/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-amd64.ocamlcreal_0.7-4_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

The failure is caused by the attempted rebuild of /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.0/gmp/gmp.cmi, which obviously is neither allowed nor wanted. On amd64 gmp.cmi is one second older then gmp.mli:
# ls -la --time-style=full-iso /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.0/gmp/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33961 2007-11-24 15:47:23.000000000 +0000 gmp.cmi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17295 2007-11-24 15:47:24.000000000 +0000 gmp.mli

Therefore make tries to rebuild it via suffix rule .mli.cmi. Touching gmp.cmi to make it newer then gmp.mli solves the problem.

Sponsors, can you please sponsor attached debdiff to fix this FTBFS?
I added a patch to add an empty target for /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.0/gmp/gmp.cmi so gmp.cmi will not be rebuilt.
With this patch ocamlcreal builds fine in a hardy amd64 pbuilder.

That was probably a temporary issue with ocaml, a recent give-back was successful. Thanks anyway :)
