Ok, I wasn't aware of that. In this case, you effectively have to  
write it in ocaml.

Did you have a url to this OS projet ?

I don't know how much speed you'll lost compared to C code, but if  
you use native ocaml compilation it shouldn't be a big issue (even if  
it's twice as slow as C, it'll run on recent CPUs ;)).

The -unsafe option is a compiler option, not a linker option, so I  
think it may has a different value for each .ml file.

So... good luck ;)
