They contain (natively) compiled OCaml code. An OCaml library compiled
in native mode (usually) consists of a .a and a .cmxa file, the former
containing OCaml-specific information.
They are not to be confused with lib*.a files, which contain compiled C
stubs, and are needed for generating native-code executables, and
bytecode ones in -custom mode.
