I could not make it work for r2529 specifically (some dependency
generation problems with `dh_shlibdeps` at the end of the build), but
attached patch seems to work with later r2543. Is it OK? I can
investigate r2529 some more if necessary.

Here are the steps I took:

    sudo pbuilder clean
    sudo pbuider update

    mkdir libllvm-3.8-ocaml-dev-test
    cd libllvm-3.8-ocaml-dev-test
    debcheckout llvm-toolchain-3.8  # Checked out r2543
    cd llvm-toolchain-3.8
    patch -p0 < ../../libllvm-3.8-ocaml-dev-enable.patch
    sudo pdebuild -- --debbuildopts "-j6 -b -uc -us"  # Have a walk

    cd /var/cache/pbuilder/result
    dpkg -c libllvm-3.8-ocaml-dev_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb # Looks OK
    sudo dpkg -i libllvm-3.8-ocaml-dev_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb \
        llvm-3.8-dev_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb \
        libllvm3.8_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb \
        llvm-3.8_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb \
        llvm-3.8-runtime_3.8.1-19\~exp4_amd64.deb

I then tested the library with some of my OCaml codebase, and it looks
fine so far. My tests are far from exhaustive, but result certainly
looks better than with the empty package :-)

I am already grateful that you are willing to accept contributions for
this seldom-used package. I hope this patch applies more cleanly.

Thanks,
