Yes, with OCaml 4.04.0 the build of unison2.49 still fails with 

  flexdll error: cannot relocate RELOC_REL32, target is too far:
0xfffffffc185d8b5f  0x185d8b5f

Running

  rebase -b 0x06440000 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so
  rebase -b 0x06510000 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllcamlstr.so
 
as before fixed the flexdll error. Then I got a different build error, but
I'll ask on the unison list about that.

The build of orpie also failed, but for a different reason. It needed
ocaml-camlp4, but when I installed that and tried again I got

  ocamlopt.opt -c -pp camlp4o -I ./curses -I ./gsl -I ./units -thread
curses_assist.ml
  >> Fatal error: OCaml and preprocessor have incompatible versions
