This is the same issue which was present in 1.4, and despite a PR #30 intending to fix it, it is still broken in 1.5, unfortunately.
This is what happens on ppc (where only bytecode is available):

In result the build just freezes and I have to interrupt the process. Libraries are in fact successfully built, but forcing ocamlopt call prevents it from completion.
@dra27 Could you please take a look? It should be pretty trivial to fix in the master: we just need it to check if ocamlopt is de facto available, or at least offer a configure option to switch off native code generation, if reliable detection during the build is problematic for some reason.
