The package is rpmlint-clean except for one odd warning against the -devel
package:

$ rpmlint ocaml-perl4caml-devel-0.9.4-1.fc9.i386.rpm
ocaml-perl4caml-devel.i386: W: binaryinfo-readelf-failed 

I dug into this and found that it is because a '.a' file inside
the package contains another '.a' file.  'readelf' doesn't know
how to handle this situation:

$ ar t /usr/lib/ocaml/perl/libperl4caml.a 
perl_c.o
DynaLoader.a

$ readelf -a /usr/lib/ocaml/perl/libperl4caml.a 
[...]
readelf: Error: Unable to read in 0x2020 bytes of section headers

File: /usr/lib/ocaml/perl/libperl4caml.a(DynaLoader.a)
readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

However the library file links correctly, so it seems like its not
a warning we need to worry about.
