Contains vendored in patches from https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-freestanding/pull/93
to make building within nixpkgs simpler. These serve as a makeshift
solution until ocaml-freestanding is released with its overhauled dune
based build system which will also support cross compiling. Upstream has
indicated that they are interested in making it work well with nix as
well.
1.7.8 changed the behavior of the minimal build type (which we are
keeping as the default because opam-repository does it as well): It now
excludes the Base64 module which is prone to namespacing problems.
Since google-drive-ocamlfuse still uses the Base64 module, we need to
override it to use extlib without the minimal build type. 1.7.9 (?)
should make this obsolete as it is planned to split the Base64 module
into a separate package.

Enabling tests is not feasible as the test suite takes > 45min (haven't
even run it to completion yet) which is not a good idea in ocamlPackages
where you often have to build from source. Additionally it would require
fetching the git repository since the test suite is not contained in the
release tarball.

https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/blob/0.18.0/CHANGES.md#ctypes-0180
* ocamlPackages.async_ssl: fix compatibility with ctypes 0.18.0 by using
ctypes.foreign instead of ctypes.foreign.threaded since the distinction
between threaded and unthreaded has been removed in this release.
* libbap: link with -thread so linking ctypes.foreign doesn't fail
https://github.com/BinaryAnalysisPlatform/bap-bindings/issues/18
* ocaml-ng.ocamlPackages_4_07.sodium: patch lib_gen/_tags to also add
the `package(bigarray)` directive since `ctypes.stubs` no longer
propgates that, leading to module not found error.
* ocaml-ng.ocamlPackages_4_{04,05,06,07}.async_ssl: mark as broken: due to
the bigarray-compat dependency, we need dune 2 for ctypes which breaks
compilation of the legacy async_ssl 0.11 version since we can't
upgrade to dune 2 for it since that version doesn't support the legacy
jbuild files.
A bit of a pitfall of // is that it doesn't merge recursively which
often leads to unintended deletion in meta sets: If meta is in args it
is also present in the set right of the // operator which means the
right value is used to replace the left value completely. This throws
away anything extra we've set in the meta set in args.
This is fixed by this comment, allowing the descriptions and broken =
true; set in janestreet/old.nix to propagate to the output meta sets.
