I think the next target update for Ocaml should be version 5.3. I've 
managed to get most ports working under that updated version, except for a 
few stragglers.

I'd like to mark devel/cil broken at this point as it seems dormant 
upstream and would be a big porting effort to migrate to newer Ocaml.

A potential upstream fork is Gobling-CIL which I looked at porting but it 
needs quite a lot of new dependencies and I gave up after doing close to 
ten new ports.

ok on this for now? It would let us move forward with ocaml 5.
