`make install` not copying ocamlnat in OCaml 4.14.2

In fact it seems that’s no longer true, I guess thanks to the ocamlnat/ocaml API unification done by @AltGr upstream (thanks!).

I had a closer look at the error you reported it is triggered by the test here. This doesn’t prevent topfind from loading on 4.14.2 but it does on 5.2.0~rc1. However even on 4.14.2 it seems to fail to load libraries correctly I have opened an issue.

I’m glad to report that this is fixed. And with:

> cat ~/.config/ocaml/init.ml 
#use "down.top"
#use "omod.top"

you can now simply invoke ocaml or ocamlnat regardless (also tested with 5.2.0~rc1).

> ocaml

Enter #help;; for help.

For those interested I also updated ocaml-repo-ocamlnat with 4.14.2 and 5.2.0~rc1. I will make new omod and down releases soon.
