I you actually decide that the dependancy is for .cmx instead of .cmi in
the makefile (which is mandatory for nativecode) with proper -I option,
it should also work (maybe with a make clean when you switch
implementation) ?

May be I still do not get the problem

Anyway, there should be better support for implementation choice at link
time, because this is a nice feature of ML ...
