Hezekiah: Please can you try this package and post your results here.

http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-gsl-0.6.0-1.fc8.src.rpm

I have built the RPM on a x86 32bit CentOS 5 system using manually recompiled
OCaml 3.10.0 packages from Fedora.  The packages were able to build and pass a
few basic tests (compiling and testing a program which uses the library).

It looks good from here.

I'll put in a review request for this package shortly.

For what it's worth, I tried to build the given ocaml-gsl .src.rpm on my F9pre
partition, and got the following result:

(lots of snipped output in which everything looks fine...)

The args foo is rhbz#439168 and should be fixed now

Comment 4 is a bug in xargs (see bug 439168).

This will work if you upgrade glibc and findutils to at least:
  glibc-2.7.90-13
  findutils-4.2.33-2.fc9

I tested the package again today and it seems to build and function properly on
a fairly up to date F9 install.

This is approved for Fedora now, so closed.
