I patched a few more things in the coq build process for OCaml 4 today
and got builds that went all the way to completion in my 64-bit and
32-bit Fedora Rawhide VMs.  I rejoiced and kicked off a koji build,
which failed with a segfault in coqdoc during the 32-bit build again:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4168975

The apparently random pattern of segfaults makes me suspect that the
garbage collector is involved somehow.  Has anybody had experience
with a relatively long-running OCaml 4 program (one that would go
through multiple rounds of collecting garbage)?
