This would be really great.  Please point him to the latest patch at

   https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/mcl/-/blob/master/debian/patches/OCamlSupport.patch

which applies to MCL 14.  The original patch that can be found at Github
applies to an older version of MCL.

Hope this helps

     Andreas.
