I download and build it (from your website) and I have no problem to
compile: 

gildor@yotta(lenny/amd64):~/tmp/ocaml-autobuild$ make
ocamlbuild -classic-display ocaml-autobuild.otarget
/usr/bin/ocamlopt.opt -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/ocamlbuild unix.cmxa
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/ocamlbuild/ocamlbuildlib.cmxa myocamlbuild.ml
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild.cmx -o myocamlbuild
[...]

(test not ok because it try to install things in /usr/lib/ocaml...)

Can you check you have build and install ocamlify 
http://darcs.ocamlcore.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=ocamlify;a=summary
(I will try to get rid of this small dependency in the final release)

Also OCaml 3.10.0 is a quite old version that is maybe still containing
some bugs with ocamlbuild (it was the first version of ocamlbuild). Can
you try with a more recent version (3.10.2 or 3.11.1).

You can get the tree with 
darcs get http://darcs.ocamlcore.org/repos/ocamlify
darcs get http://darcs.ocamlcore.org/repos/ocaml-autobuild
