Actually I've been meaning to fix this for a really long time.
It should be a simple matter of copying %{_bindir}/ocaml and
%{_bindir}/ocamllex into boot/ before building.  (Of course
the package will then BuildRequire ocaml).

Could you file a bug so I don't forget about this?

Thanks for filing it.  It was fixed in Rawhide and F29:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml/c/8f288a07f3f14d0415138c013f46e082c83cfcdf?branch=master

It's not very clear if you actually want this to be fixed
in F28, but I'll assume not for now.
