The GCaml docs say (and have said for at least a year) that it doesn't support
all of OCaml, neither objects nor polymorphic variants. I'd guess that
it doesn't support recursive modules either.
It's a pity, as I've often wished that OCaml supported the extensional
polymorphism that GCaml has, but I don't think that's going to happen.
It would probaby make more sense to create a separate language at this
point, since OCaml is complicated enough.
