FYI this test failed on ARM.  It's a genuine failure showing that we
are building a supermin binary with an executable stack.

It turns out to be an OCaml bug.  Years ago I filed:

http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4564

It was only fixed upstream on i686 & x86-64 ... not on ARM.

$ touch empty.ml
$ ocamlopt empty.ml 
$ readelf -lW a.out | grep GNU_STACK
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x4

So I will have to apply the same fix to the OCaml ARM compiler too.

Rich.
