Try what's documented in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/_autorebase.README for DLLs under
non-standard system paths:

create a file /var/lib/rebase/dynpath.d/ocaml containing your .so directory path
/usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/:

	$ echo /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/ > /var/lib/rebase/dynpath.d/ocaml

then rebase-trigger full, shutdown all Cygwin processes, rerun setup, and your
Cygwin setup should be properly rebased including your added DLLs/SOs.

If you were testing as a user, you should add your build paths to
/var/lib/rebase/user.d/$USER e.g.

	$ echo $HOME/src/build/lib/ocam/stublibs/ > /var/lib/rebase/user.d/$USER

and do the above to pick up the added paths and include them in the Cygwin
rebase database.
