That seems quite brittle and unprecise and are things that get in the way/y= ou have to consider when you need to debug build systems. It seems to me that OCaml's build rules are already sufficiently complex so= that the tool that is supposed to help us to manage them doesn't introduce= more noise in the system. More specifically I think that most build system developers out there would= agree that having a clear ocamlfind sub-command that allows us to query th= e *exact* flags a package is supposed to provide us along the well defined = phases: pre-processing, compilation and linking in the native and bytecode = dimensions would be of great help in general.=20=20 Would you maybe consider implementing something along these lines ?=20=20 Best, Daniel
