Thanks for your reply.  In the end I managed to solve the problem, though
not using clib (which seems tangential to this problem).  All that was
required was the following myocamlbuild.ml:

open Ocamlbuild_plugin
open Command

let _ = dispatch begin function
        | After_rules ->
                flag ["ocaml"; "byte"; "link"] (S[A"-custom"]);
                dep ["ocaml"; "link"] ["foobar.o"]
        | _ -> ()
end


Though it still strikes me as odd that Ocamlbuild's manual won't cover
such basic examples...
