Got same error with debian package.

Yes, I am sure I did install the main stuff before building contribs.

In fact, I changed the installation directories in src/Makefile and
contrib/Makefile. I understand that the changes I applied to BINDIR,
LIBDIR and MANDIR should be automatically propagated by make to all
Makefiles in subdirs but I am not sure that the propagation is actually
done...

Also the I just discovered that the build of libunix fails:
+ cd libunix
+ make CC=gcc OPTS= 'CPP=/lib/cpp -P' 'RANLIBTEST=test -f
/usr/bin/ranlib -o -f 
/bin/ranlib' RANLIB=ranlib BINDIR=/opt/caml-light/bin

It might be that the version of some libc headers is not compatible with
the one required by the sources (?)...
