Dependency tracking is non-existant in the Ocaml subdirectory.  In some
copious free time I need to rewrite that part of the build system, as
the generated cmx/cmxa files are unusable outside of the Xen source tree
(because of embedded paths).

That message usually means that
/root/src/xen/tools/ocaml/test/../libs/xentoollog/xentoollog.cmxa is stale.

When developing, I do a blanket clean in the ocaml subdirectory after
any change anywhere.  It is not ideal, but does function well-enough
until said copious free time appears.
