we had a similar problem, but finally (ab)used 
   Ocamlbuild_pack.Ocamlbuild_Myocamlbuild_config.system 
and
   Ocamlbuild_pack.Ocamlbuild_Myocamlbuild_config.arch 
in the context of an ocamlbuild script to get
the system and the current architecture (32 vs
64 bit). just adapt to your demands.

it's the same variable that it accessible via the 
"-config" parameter of the ocamltools (ocamlc/ocamlopt/...)
   shell~> ocamlc -config|grep system
please note, that it's not the runtime configuration
but the system configuration at compile time of your
ocaml distribution.

regards,

alex
