For Fedora Rawhide, which has ocaml 4.06, we came up with a patch to make 
xen ocaml safe-strings compliant (which I haven't got around to submitting 
to this list yet).

The patch is at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/blob/master/f/xen.ocaml.safe-strings.patch
with the related Fedora bug at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526703
