Because there are several ways of linking, and findlib is not the
right instance to find out the right way</P
><P
>Recent versions of OCaml support DLLs, at least for some
platforms. Here, the option -custom is not necessary at all, because the
C libraries can be looked up and loaded at runtime. The option -custom
would have the effect of forcing static linking.</P
><P
>But even for platforms without DLL support, there are two
alternatives. One possibility is to use -custom, and the other is to
create runtime systems with -make-runtime, and reference them with
-use-runtime. Fortunately, recent versions of OCaml select now themselves
-custom automatically if -make-runtime is omitted, so findlib needs not to
bother with it.</P
