We just uploaded another solution to this problem :

opam init --comp 4.01.0+bin-ocp

<= /div>
It is a binary distribution of OCaml 4.01.0 ("ocp" stan= ds for OCamlPro, as it includes a small patch for relocation of the executa= bles), working only on Intel Linux for now (32 and 64 bits), so you will on= ly pay the download cost (about 65 MB), and not the compilation cost (you w= ill still need to compile the next packages that you will install, as it is= only the OCaml distribution). On most of our settings, downloading is much= faster than compiling.

Once it is installed, it keeps the archive in a cache (= in ~/.opam/.ocp-compiler-cache/), so that creating other aliases from this = switch will only be the cost of decompressing the archive:

opam switch 4.01.0-for-something-else --alias 4.01.0+bin-ocp

Tell us if you meet any problem using it !

Nowadays, thanks to OPAM, I think only a compiler is needed to
bootstrap quickly an OCaml environment for developers.
