I don't know if this is relevant, but OCaml programs do link to C
shared libraries, eg:

  $ ldd /usr/bin/virt-top 
        libvirt.so.0 => /home/rjones/local/lib/libvirt.so.0 (0x00002aaaaaad3000)

        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003b87c00000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x0000003b8f600000)
