There's no other error message. Yes, I should have add the "-verbose" option.

I've set $(RESULT) to "baire.cmo" -- seemingly unconventional.

My fault. At first I follow other examples (that is, without 
$(SOURCES:.ml=.o). When I cannot find out what's the cause of the error, I 
add it in desperation. And this does not make a change at all.

Now I remove that redundant part and add the verbose option, I get the 
following spit out:
---8<---
ocamlopt -pack -verbose -o baire.cmx bairePervasives.cmx [...] 
weightBalancedMap.cmx 
+ as -o '/tmp/camlpackagef06eb8.o' '/tmp/camlpackage2ad2ef.s'
+ ld -r  -o 'baire.o' '/tmp/camlpackagef06eb8.o' 'bairePervasives.o' [...] 
'weightBalancedMap.o'
+ /usr/bin/nm 'baire.o' > '/tmp/camlsymbolse063ad'
+ /usr/bin/objcopy --redefine-sym 
'WeightBalancedSet__zero_227=Baire__WeightBalancedSet__zero_227' [...] 
--redefine-sym 'AmortizedQueue=Baire__AmortizedQueue' 'baire.o'
Error during partial linking
make[1]: *** [nativepack] Error 2
---8<---

To make the list short, I use [...] to elide what come between. The problem is 
it's ok to "-pack" the byte-compiled .cmo files, but not to "-pack" the 
native-compiled .cmx files. 

I can now use the packed baire library in the toplevel and bytecode modes, but 
not the native-code mode. Besides the "-pack" problem, baire provides modules 
that have name clash with the stdlibs modules. I'm wondering whether it's 
possible to use the those of baire instead of the stdlibs. I don't know how 
so far. When compile and link in the native-code mode, it complains there is 
such a name clash and aborts.

Thanks!
