Bug description

The buildsystem builds a few executables, namely ocamlrun{,d} and ocamlyacc, which cannot be executed since they are built for the target, not host, architecture.

Since ocamlrun and ocamlyacc are a hard dependency for building a cross-compiler, they can be simply symlinked to whatever was used to build the cross-compiler.
ocamlrund may not be present and it is also not a dependency of anything in OCaml ecosystem, so it can be just not installed. It probably makes sense to not build these when cross-compiling as well.
