I thought about this, but I wonder if this would use the correct flexdll.h, but still the wrong flexlink. I thought it would be safer to point it to the right flexlink and derive the flexdll.h location from there. 

The mingw cross compiler + standard library builds fine, but then when I use it, it doesn't find pervasives, although the pervasives.cmx is in the folder ocamlc -config says it should be. I guess something went wrong with the flexlink process. Is there some way to see from ocamlc - config if flexlink support is there? Or is there another way to check if flexlink is the problem?

Regarding the Cygwin build: I have no issue with this, it just takes a few minutes. I just wanted to make sure I don't do this in an unusual way. 

Best regards,

Michael
