I don't see your point.
All the dlls you mention in ocaml link are supposed to be stub dlls.
As you write them for your caml program, they are going to be
available. If more dlls are needed, they are required by dependencies
in those dlls, and this is what the above flag is supposed to disable.
This looks fine.

However, it might still be simpler to a compiler flag to disable all
dll checking when linking. That's trivial. But if you don't know what
you do, you're going to have runtime errors later, so this is not a
reasonable default.
