Not sure this is a bug. "make opt" means "build the ocamlopt compiler". "make opt.opt" means "build ocamlopt-compiled versions of all the tools".

The defaultentry in the Makefile echoes the following:

    @echo "Please refer to the installation instructions in file INSTALL."
    @echo "If you've just unpacked the distribution, something like"
    @echo " ./configure"
    @echo " make world"
    @echo " make opt"
    @echo " make install"
    @echo "should work. But see the file INSTALL for more details."

This suggested build sequence causes the problem I noted, and maybe should be changed.

I confirm that "make opt" is not supposed to build the native-code version of ocamlbuild.
I have updated the Makefile to mention "make world.opt", which will build it. (r 12929 and 12930)
