Comment (by kencu):

 My default 10.6.8 system is set up with LibcxxOnOlderSystems, using
 libc++, and the default compiler is set to clang-3.9. On that system
 (which I recommend for everyone to use, and dearly wish we had a buildbot
 for), ocaml built straight through without touching anything:
 {{{
 $ port -v installed ocaml
 The following ports are currently installed:
   ocaml @4.02.2_1 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
 date='2017-11-22T09:22:43-0800'
 }}}

 I will explore exactly what works, but in my mind, you should either let
 the default compiler do it, or jump directly to a new clang (like 4 or 5).
 I personally think it's kind of tedious to spend too much time finding the
 oldest compiler that works (a moving target for the next version of the
 port anyway, usually).
