Pick several:
- Work only with native or byte compilation, but not both (especially
common for C bindings).
- Don't work with dynlink.
- Don't build some cmFOO or link the right things in the .so/.a, which
is usually the cause for the two above (but not always, people are
creative sometime).
- Don't offer anything to build documentation.
- Don't use ocamlfind correctly (and install things in the wrong places).
- Worse: Don't use ocamlfind at all.
- Don't have an uninstall target.
- Break under -j (ocamlbuild parallelize badly, but at least, it doesn't
break)
- Assume linux (and GNU Make) (ask adrien about the compiler's build
system for tasty war stories)
I could go on, but I'm pretty you got the point.
