SKS not building

Hi all,

I am trying to install sks from the AUR. I am getting this error:

File "eventloop.ml", line 133, characters 15-19:
Error: This expression has type ?cloexec:bool -> Unix.file_descr
       but an expression was expected of type
         Unix.file_descr = Unix.file_descr
make: *** [Makefile:388: eventloop.cmx] Error 2

I want sks to work; but I do not understand what is wrong; it does not seem like anything is wrong.

Any insight on what to do next would be much appreciated. I can output full log if it would help. Here is some of the context:

Re: SKS not building

literally just ran into this.

i posted a comment to debian and gentoo bug reports who are seeing the same thing:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sks/#news

i haven't tried it yet, but there's a patch...
