Hello,
Are there cases where ocamlopt -shared is useful without -linkall?
Cheers,

Yes, I think so. First, of course, when you don't link any library in
the .cmxs, only modules, then -linkall is not needed (but admittedly it
wouldn't hurt). Second, imagine you want to create an addin that relies
on code in a library which you want to embed in the addin. You don't
necessarily want to link the whole library, just the modules which are
needed.
