Well, it is a bootstraping problem it seems but "make bootstrap" is not
the answere.
I need to build this in two passes. First only patch md5.[ch] and build
ocamlc. Then patch the rest and build with the ocamlc from the first
build copied to boot/.
Seems like ocamlc always uses its internal list of primitives even if it
compiles for a new runtime that will have different primitives.
