At least under unix, it does not.
The shell creates foo.mli before the compilation starts; ocamlc sees 
that and believes a .cmi should exist; but it doesn't; so compilation 
aborts.

Xavier Leroy has promised 
(http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200302/msg00078.html)
a separate command line option to generate .mli's without compiling,
but I don't see it yet.
