At Fenelon, my teachers tell us they don't want us to have problems with 
examiners who are not familiar with OCaml, but we can use it if we want, 
even if everything is under Caml Light there.

Thanks for the trick, I was used to manually uncompress it with ar x and 
then untar data.tar.gz in / :)

I've looked into the strings of the binaries bundled in the package and 
it shows "GCC: (GNU) 3.4.6 (Ubuntu 3.4.6-8ubuntu2)", and 
-fstrict-aliasing seems disabled in GCC 3.4.

The strange thing is that even if gcc-3.4 is in build-dep of the 
dpkg-source package, I don't see where it uses it in debian/rules or any 
Makefile (and debuild fails at building the package, it doesn't execute 
the build step of rules for a reason I don't understand, but if I 
manually launch the step, I get the same error).

Thanks
