Or maybe I could reorder the commits so that the ‘ocaml-ppxlib’ update
comes last?

Good catch!  There is a patch that should fix this issue[1]; should I
apply the patch to fix the build?

I didn’t build the ‘ocaml-llwm’ packages since I would have to first
build ‘llvm’ from source...[*].  The ‘ocaml-markup0.8.0’ fails too, but
it was already failing before applying this patch, so I will send a
separate series to try to fix it.  I also had to update ‘ocamlformat’ to
make it build.

Thanks for the taking a look!

[*]: I have noticed that substitute availability has been pretty poor
lately.  :-(
