[Caml-list] 4.07.0+beta2

[Caml-list] 4.07.0+beta2

[Damien Doligez]

Dear OCaml users,

The release of OCaml 4.07.0 will take place in a few weeks. We have created a beta version to help you adapt your software to the new features ahead of the release.

The source code is available at this address:
  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.07.tar.gz
and the compiler is also available as the 4.07.0+beta2* set of OPAM switches.

We want to know about all bugs. Please report them here:
  http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/bug_report_page.php

At about the same time as the release, we will also have the pleasure of officially announcing the creation of the OCaml Software Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting OCaml, its ecosystem, and its community. You can already enter a pledge at http://ocaml-sf.org/donate/

Happy hacking,

-- Damien Doligez for the OCaml team.

What are the new files $libdir/target_camlheaderd & target_camlheaderi
used for (for the purposes of placing them into the correct subpackage
on Fedora)?

[Caml-list] i686 linker failures - defined in discarded section (was: Re: 4.07.0+beta2)

When compiling labltk on i686 we get lots of strange linking errors:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Of course this is using all the latest GNU toolchain so it could
really be anything and maybe not OCaml 4.07 at all ...

gcc 8.0.1-0.23.fc29
binutils 2.30-15.fc29
ocaml 4.07.0-0.beta2.0.fc29

Other package versions are listed here:
