[Slackbuilds-users] Bug in ocaml.SlackBuild

Hi.
I was about to build ocaml using ocaml.SlackBuild and noticed that on
lines 42&43 the build will strip all "executable" & "shared object".
This goes against section 9 of ocaml-3.10.0/INSTALL where it states:

9- After installation, do *not* strip the ocamldebug and ocamlbrowser
executables.  (These are mixed-mode executables, containing both
compiled C code and Caml bytecode; stripping erases the bytecode!)
Other executables such as ocamlrun can safely be stripped.

Let me know if you need more info.

R.
