OCaml Compile Error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstr

The instructions given here allow me to compile with no error. It boils down to:

locate libcamlstr

which tells me that libcamlstr can be found in /usr/lib/ocaml (YMMV), so I do:

cd /usr/lib/ocaml
sudo ln -s libcamlstr.a libstr.a

Then I'm able to compile the project:

cd /usr/local/src/cil
make clean && ./configure && make

See the last comment in this bug in the OCaml bug tracker:

You could just change the makefile from

-lstr

to

-lcamlstr
