I have tried to compile this version and the prior one.
I always run to the same problem.
I have installed every software that ./configure tries to check.

Now when I try to build the library, this happens:

------------------------------------------------------------

File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1:

make[1]: *** [bitstring-import-c] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mkosik/tmp/ocaml-bitstring-2.0.3/cil-
tools'
make: *** [all] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure what causes the problem.
Previously, I tried have tried to look and see if it is possible to
compile natively compiled version of the bitstring library (i.e.
*.cmxa). Currently, it is provided only in a form of byte-compiled
library (*.cma).

I don't know what causes this, but don't compile the CIL tools.
They are no longer supported and I think we should remove them.
