Its a little more complicated than that. The problem arises when  
linking with 1) a library that links with Unix and 2) a file that  
depends on Unix. I've found a minimal example that fails on my system  
(OS X). It involves 4 files: Makefile, mintime.ml, unixprog.ml,  
minprog.ml (names chosen arbitrarily):

########################
Makefile:
########################

all: minprog

timelib.cma: mintime.ml
	ocamlfind ocamlc -package unix -linkpkg \
	-o $@ -a mintime.ml

minprog: timelib.cma  unixprog.ml
	ocamlfind ocamlc $(INCLUDES) -thread -o $@ \
	-package netclient -linkpkg $^ minprog.ml


########################
mintime.ml:
#######################

let now () = Unix.time ()

########################
unixprog.ml:
#######################

let foo x =
   let in_channel, out_channel = Unix.open_process "cat" in
   let read_fd = Unix.descr_of_in_channel in_channel in
   let write_fd = Unix.descr_of_out_channel out_channel in
   ()

########################
minprog.ml:
#######################

let mystring = Http_client.Convenience.http_get "http://www.cnn.com"


Then,

make minprog
./minprog

results in

Fatal error: exception Unix.Unix_error(38, "connect", "")
