O'Caml won't compile on Leopard

[jakl.michael@…]

When I try to install O'Caml I get the following error messages (note that I use MacPorts 1.6 from SVN, see version info at the bottom; I also use make -j3 but it didn't compile with default settings either):

Closing as a duplicate of Issue #13308 and #13236.

This error is caused by the new UNIX2003 signal handling changes, which the current O'Caml system does not handle yet.
