ocamlmklib doesn't understand -arch

[jeremyhu@…]

Building ocamlimages, we execute ocamlmklib from ocaml which doesn't understand our LDFLAGS (including -arch)

ocamlmklib -oc ci_jpeg -L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64 jpegread.o jpegwrite.o -ljpeg
Unknown option -arch
Don't know what to do with x86_64
Usage: ocamlmklib [options] <.cmo|.cma|.cmx|.cmxa|.ml|.mli|.o|.a|.obj|.lib|.dll files>
Options are:
  -cclib <lib>   C library passed to ocamlc -a or ocamlopt -a only
  -ccopt <opt>   C option passed to ocamlc -a or ocamlopt -a only

Has duplicate #24215.

[fh@…]

Path built following #22168 and #71393 to remove the -arch flag that is not supported by ocamlmklib. The package now builds and installs.

Notice that the patch also upgrades to version 1.5.9

thanks, commited!

r76475 only fixed caml-sqlite3. This is a general problem; and in fact the description for this ticket only specifically mentions ocamlimages.

[jmr@…]

Fixed camlimages in r77600. I'd suggest doing it this way for all ports that require it, since clearing the archflags as was done for caml-sqlite3 breaks build_arch support entirely.

Better handling of arch flags as suggested by jmr@…
