AFAICS, when needed, caml_tuplifyN end up within the /tmp/camlstartup*.s file
mechanically generated at link time.
You can keep this file with -dstartup.

Unfortunately, due to its quasi-random name,
it is not easy to retrieve it mechanically.

Personally I have patched ocamlopt in order to have a -startup option
keeping camlstartup_<name_of_the_output>.o in the current directory.

Anyway, maybe there is a better way for your own concern.
Have a glance at -output-obj perhaps.

HTH.
