Summary: Error building port ocaml ocaml-4.01.0 on PPC Leopard 10.5.8 → ocaml: ld: unknown option: -no_compact_unwind

As far as I can tell, -no_compact_unwind is only supported as of the version of ld in Snow Leopard.

I wonder if using the ld64 port instead would help. Or if the flag can be removed from ocaml that would be simpler.

It would be nice to fix this. While trying to install unison on my PPC MacMini, I ran into this bug. I edited it out of the affected Makefiles and it installed fine. Had to figure this out myself. Can't we remove the -no_compact_unwind from the configure file in this case?

Thanx, -Chris

This has apparently been an issue of quite long standing.

If it builds fine without no_compact_unwind on old PPC versions of OS X, is someone willing to provide a patch that only kicks in for those versions to do this? I'm in support of that.
