The problem is that their OCamlMakefile doesn't have a DESTDIR variable.  They use their own custom `ocamlfind` package manager, so you have to use the OCAMLFIND_INSTFLAGS variable to set the destdir if you want to use make install.
build() {
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
./configure --prefix=/usr
make all || return 1
install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib"
make OCAMLFIND_INSTFLAGS="-destdir $pkgdir/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib" \
install || return 1
By the way, pcre-ocaml needs to be added as a dependency, and you should use "Contributor" since "Maintainer" is just for official Arch packagers.
