Yes, I remember when discussing the patch adding camlboot and
ocaml4.07-boot. :-) That's what you explained [1].
Well, a direct bootstrap camlboot -> ocaml-4.13 is better for sure,
but harder. Instead, my question is: have you tried a chain of
boostrap: camlboot -> ocaml-4.07 -> ? -> ocaml-4.13. I could be
temporary solution waiting camlboot improvements, no?
