Maybe surprisingly, then:

~% cat > t.ml
let () = print_string "hello world\n"
~% ocamlopt -o t t.ml
~% strip t
~% ls -lh t
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xxxx users 124K Mar 12 16:48 t
~% ldd t
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffbed70000)
        libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fae08f33000)
        libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fae08d2f000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fae08987000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fae09234000)
~% ./t
hello world
~%

It does not suck too hard! Does it?
