It looks like ocaml.org's SSL is not correctly configured and it's not sending the intermediate CA certificate (see output of http://www.ssltool.com/?action=sslCheckOpenSSL&address=ocaml.org). The intermediate CA certificate is at http://wiki.gandi.net/en/ssl/intermediate, by the look of it.
This will be a problem viewing in an evangelical browser like Firefox which doesn't include a stash of common intermediate CA certificates, but not so much of a problem in Chromium (especially if you do happen to be running on Windows, where it uses Microsoft's built-in certificate store) which is a little more liberal - or less liberal, depending on political viewpoint! - about the certificates it pre-installs for you!
However, it will have problems in Chromium later this year when SHA1 starts to be retired: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/gradually-sunsetting-sha-1.html
