I would not have thought that adding `-opaque` would be sufficient. It should get you
past the compilation of modules which depend on `setcore.mli`, but I would expect
linking to fail still. If that is not the case I guess it should be considered a bug because
in 4.03 referencing an `external` is supposed to force linking of the containing module.
The change was made because the existing behaviour was said to confuse people --
using a normal value from a module caused it to get linked whilst using an external value
didn't.

Regards,

Leo
