%bcond_with is backwards?

I'm sure you're right, but I still genuinely don't understand your
explanation :-(

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the %ifarch part above:

  %ifarch sparc64 s390 s390x
  %bcond_with ocaml
  %else
  %bcond_without ocaml
  %endif

Why does that disable OCaml support on the architectures sparc64,
s390, s390x?
