Summary

0004421: ocamlbuild uses wrong compiler for C files

Description

When trying to compile C files as part of an ocaml native project, ocamlbuild always uses ocamlc.opt to compile the C files, which is incorrect. The compiler options passed by ocamlopt.opt and ocamlc.opt are different for compiling C files, and this difference ended up causing a lot of problems trying to track down where the errors were coming from trying to link my project.

Even specifying in my _tags file:

true: native, -byte
false: byte

it still refused to build C files with ocamlopt.opt. In the end, I had to override the compiler with -cc, and pass the options to the C compiler ocamlopt would normally pass to gcc with -ccopt.
