Thanks for the quick fix!  Looking at the patch, the problem
seems to be that ocamlbuild distinguishes between built-in tools
(presumably the ocaml toolchain binaries), and external tools.

Is there any reason why ocamlbuild shouldn't just unconditionally
search the PATH for the compiler tools as well?  It's very confusing
to have it override some binaries and not others.
