I'd suggest you investigate the following options:

- ocamlopt -noautolink
    This will disable the automatic linking of C libraries that
    are mentioned in OCaml libraries.  E.g. normally when you
    link graphics.cmxa, the "-lX11" library is automatically
    added to the linker command line.  With this option, it will
    not be added, so you can put ..../libX11.a on the command line
    instead of -lX11.
- ocamlopt -output-obj
    This is even more radical: a .o file containing only the Caml code
    will be generated, and you're in full control over what C libraries
    to link with it to get the final executable.

Hope this helps,
