By replacing
archive(byte) = "com.cma"
by
archive(byte, plugin) = "com.cma"
in the META file, it works.

ps : also I needed to copy dllcamlidl.so from lib/camlidl/ to lib/stublibs/

Thanks for this report and apologies for the late answer.

Your proposed fix to the META file is correct, however this META file is not part of the CamlIDL distribution (until now) and was added by the Debian packager. The issue should be reported through Debian.

Future work on CamlIDL, including bug tracking, continues on Github: https://github.com/xavierleroy/camlidl
