Thanks for the good work. I would like to know exactly what  
architectures support the native Dynlink? I did not see this  
information in the release notes.

I need to update configure scripts to include it or not in the link  
step because dynlink.cmxa is needed by camlp4fulllib.cmxa, but now I  
realize that it's not just a matter of having OCaml >= 3.11.

many thanks again,

Andres
