You will need something like

section
    BYTE_ENABLED = true
    OCAML_LINK_FLAGS += -cclib -lz
    StaticCLibrary(mlzlib_stub, mlzlib_stub)
    OCAML_CLIBS += mlzlib_stub
    .DEFAULT: $(OCamlLibrary mlzlib, mlzlib)

Note that OMake's OCaml.om currently does not support linking "foreign" 
objects into libraries, so the above code links the mlzlib_stub.c into a 
C library first and then links in that library into the mlzlib OCaml 
library.
