I've patched ocamlopt so that all symbol functions have this directive,
and the empty program works!

I'm afraid this means that everything has to be recompiled with the
patched ocamlopt... this is confirmed by a test on lwt.

What about upgrading to ocaml 3.12.1 at the same time in Ubuntu? The
packaging is ready for Debian (it is currently waiting for ACK from the
release team), and also means recompiling everything. Most packages
recompile with no source changes with ocaml 3.12.1 [1]. The permanent
OCaml transition tracker [2] will be helpful, too.
