The switch tells the compiler to include a customized version of the
runtime interpreter. Some libraries requires this behaviour; this is the
case for unix.cma, because it comes with a C support library (libunix.a).
These libraries are linked with the -custom switch, and the linker
remembers it when linking your program. So -custom is implicit
in this case.

You can disable the behaviour with the -noautolink switch.
It may be useful if you want to build a custom runtime interpreter
(with unix support for instance) once and for all (-make-runtime),
and use it with -use-runtime for all your programs.
