Hello,
I have take a look to cameleon on my last night of insomnia... Cameleon,
as it is actually shipped by the savannah site, does not include any
parts which requires to build against ocaml-source.
The caml source is required to build topcameleon and epeire. For epeire,
it is no shipped as a standalone package (
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~guesdon/Tools/Tars/epeire_camtop.tar.gz ).
In fact, i don't really know if it is standalone... I hope so ( but i am
not sure ).
I think we can keep this two things separated. I am pretty sure that
epeire ( the debugger ) can be build standalone, and camtop maybe
require some library from cameleon...
It will keep cameleon free of the compiler... And we have to deal with
the epeire_camtop problem...
It is only a move of the problem. But it will help us to be more clear
on the part depending on the compiler source...
Sorry for the only partial solution

ps : without the ocaml source parts cameleon take 2min 25 sec to compile
on my Celeron1300MHz
