The patch below might help with this problem.

Well, I did the BeOS port of OCaml in 1999, for the versions of OCaml
and BeOS that were current at that time.  The native-code compiler
worked fine, but several libraries were missing (e.g. TK).

Since BeOS went belly up, I'm afraid there isn't much to say about
OCaml/BeOS except "rest in peace".
