Re: [Caml-list] removal of C compiler variables in in 4.06

[Gabriel Scherer <gabriel.scherer@gmail.com>]

I think that it should not be too hard to use a bash sleight-of-hand
to define a variable as BYTECC if it is defined and CC otherwise (or
the other way around), to get a labltk makefile that works with both.
(The Texp_function change is harder and you may need
version-conditional preprocessing, typically using cppo, to handle
them; this is the price to pay for accessing unstable
compiler-internal definitions.)

Note that labltk is currently hosted on the OCaml Forge, which is due
to be closed soon, so moving to a different place would be required. If
you are interested in labltk and helping its maintenance, you should
contact the current maintainers, who may welcome help for the migration
and the kind of maintenance work this thread is about.
