> There’s a problem which needs to be fixed in flexdll which prevents OCaml working properly on Cygwin64 at the moment. When we’ve fixed that, it’ll be possible to update the OCaml package. In the meantime, on Cygwin32, opam works to provide the more recent versions.

Thanks for the info!
I would like to package Dune. Its latest version requires at least ocaml 4.06.
Looking forward to the eventual package update.

Best,
Andy
