@mseri Thanks for digging out the failure. This is due to the changes in mirage/ocaml-solo5#50, @pascutto / @TheLortex can you look into this please and let me know what you want me to do?

[TheLortex]

We had this issue with mirage-platform too. The problem is that a symlink was done in the ocaml library path, but that doesn't work in a system switch because of permissions.
The problem is introduced in mirage/ocaml-solo5@3dfba6a
We found a workaround with the ocaml compiler so you can just revert this commit, and then the CI should pass.

Suggested change

	"solo5-kernel-muen"
	"solo5-kernel-muen"
	"ocaml-system"

I'd rather be in favour to close this PR and release ocaml-freestanding without the symlink (as PR'ed in mirage/ocaml-solo5#51, same for xen mirage/mirage-platform#208)

[samoht]

He someone is keen to do the work, yes sur no pb :p if not we can just merge this PR (as we did for mirage-platform) and wait for the next release to get support for the system compiler.

I've merged mirage/ocaml-solo5#51 (thanks @hannesm!) which reverts the symlink changes, will cut an 0.4.4 release shortly and open a new PR for that.
