It was not meant to be rude or demanding. Sorry for that.

It seems labltk is the only package which makes use of BYTECC/NATIVECC.
So in this context cc7ad5650a is correct.

I was hoping labltk.git#master would just work with "every" ocaml

As noted in other replies, there is an issue open at github. Hopefully
it gets sorted out at some point.
