Bug description

Full_Name: Achim Blumensath
Version: 3.07beta1
OS: Linux
Submission from: diabolo.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (137.226.53.122)

When creating a native-code library including C object files only a reference
to
these files is included in the cmxa file. This has the disadvantage that, when
changing the working directory these object files will not be found:

cd subdir
ocamlopt -a -o foo.cmxa foo.cmx bar.o
cd ..
ocamlopt -o main subdir/foo.cmxa main.cmx

yields an error that bar.o can't be found. As workaround one can use an
absolute
path:

ocamlopt -a -o foo.cmxa foo.cmx $(pwd)/bar.o

But it would be better if bar.o was added to foo.a instead of just storing
a reference in foo.cmxa.
