I'm not sure "repaired" is the right word for this but I expect it would be
possible to do this.  I'm not sure anyone would consider it worth the time
though.  Presumably, some older release of ocaml would build with gcc-3,
though I think you're heading in the wrong direction if you have as a goal
to avoid build problems in the future.  But if you are intent on going this
route, you might find downgrading your ocaml packages to 3.08 will help
side-step the issue.  Given it's age, I would be surprised if it were built
with gcc-4, though I didn't actually check that.
