I have run the included OCaml testsuite, but I must have done something
wrong since I got some compile failures (unbound modules, and some
missing symbols when linking thread-related tests).

make report output:
Summary:
   278 test(s) passed
   8 test(s) failed
   24 compilation error(s)
   0 compilation warning(s)

My system is a Debian Linux x86_64.
What I've done is:
 ./configure -prefix ~/compilers/o312
 make world.opt
 make install

Then put $HOME/compilers/o312/bin first in PATH.
Then I've simply run a 'make all' in testsuite/
(under ulimit -v 1024000 -d 1024000 -t 3600).
Note that I also have ocaml 3.11.2 installed.

The failures are below, is this something I'm doing wrong, or should I
open a bugreport?
 ... testing 't01.ml'Fatal error: cannot load shared library dllcamlstr

The link failures in the testsuite look like this:
/home/edwin/compilers/o312/lib/ocaml/threads/threads.a(thread.o): In
function `camlThread__fun_1101':
(.text+0x4b): undefined reference to `caml_thread_uncaught_exception'

The unbound module:
 ... testing 'tbuffer.ml': ocamlcFile "tbuffer.ml", line 3, characters 0-12:
Error: Unbound module Testing
