Debian has both ocamlc and ocamlc.opt. Configure (built using ocaml.m4 from
ocaml-tools) correctly finds the location of ocamlc, and others, however it
OVERRIDES them with the ocamlc.opt executables.
These are host executables (they lack the cross prefix too), and there is no
.opt variant for the i586-mingw32msvc target.
Configure shouldn't override an ocamlc/ocamlopt it has found for one target
(i586-mingw32msvc) with an ocamlc.opt/ocamlopt.opt it has found for another
target (Debian x86_64-linux-gnu).

To reproduce:

Attached is a patch that fixes this, by using AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL
instead of AC_CHECK_TOOL for all the compiler tools except ocamlc itself
(since bytecode should be portable doesn't matter which ocamlc is used).
