Sure, it would have to be modified so it still works if OCAMLOPT is not
available -- that's why I made that change in the first place.
Wouldn't a rule without commands such as
mlguestfs.cmxa: mlguestfs.cma
also prevent make from building the two targets in parallel?
Doesn't that mean that if mlguestfs.cmxa is out of date, simply
running the mlguestfs.cma rule will build it (which it won't)?
