opam pulls down a few OCaml libraries at build time and then statically compiles them into the opam binary, cudf is one of those libraries. I didn't notice anything being written to $HOME. I don't normally build with systrace (probably should) so I wonder if whatever is written is removed farther in the build process. I very very new to OCaml so I do appreciate your input! -- James Turner
