Bug#678577: ocaml: -custom breaks ocamlrun and ocamldebug

Package: ocaml
Version: 3.12.1-3
Severity: normal


Using debian's ocamlc:

ed@debian:~/ocaml-3.12.1$ ocamlc -custom test.ml -o test.out
ed@debian:~/ocaml-3.12.1$ ocamlrun test.out
Fatal error: the file test.out is not a bytecode executable file

Using the official ocaml 3.12.1 source:

ed@debian:~/ocaml-3.12.1$ ocamlrun ./ocamlc -custom test.ml -o test.out
ed@debian:~/ocaml-3.12.1$ ocamlrun test.out

This bug is preventing users of our OCaml project from being able to debug their binaries, because ocamldebug reports the same error as ocamlrun.
