Hi Jacek,

rpc-light does compile with the latest OCaml, version 4.00.1. How are 
you compiling this? Have you tried using opam? If not, try using this 
source tarball:
https://github.com/samoht/ocaml-rpc/archive/1.4.1.tar.gz

If you're working on porting xapi to Arch, you should look at what we've 
been doing for CentOS. Take a look at:
https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api-rpm-buildroot

Particularly the sources.csv file, which will tell you which 
repositories/branches to use for compiling this stuff outside of 
XenServer. The SPECS directory has RPM build spec files, but you should 
look at those to see how things are being built. The SOURCES directory 
has some patches that might need to be applied to the sources as well. I 
think that this would be a good starting point for your work on Arch.
If you find you need to make any patches to xapi or other components to 
get them to build or run on Arch, make a pull request so we can discuss 
them.
Mike
