ctypes 0.18.0 merged the threaded and unthreaded sub package for ctypes.foreign. As a result, building bap-bindings fails with the following message:

  /nix/store/v02f2lbgkrdawgxzgqpy4gs57caqqn0i-ocaml-findlib-1.8.1/bin/ocamlfind opt -o _build/bap/generate -linkpkg -package bap,bap-plugins,ctypes.stubs,ctypes.foreign,findlib.dynload,bap-main _build/bap/lib/bindings.cmx _build/bap/stub_generator/generate.cmx
  ocamlfind: [WARNING] Package `threads': Linking problems may arise because of the missing -thread or -vmthread switch

  make: *** [Makefile:78: _build/bap/generate] Error 2

This can be fixed by passing the -thread flag to ocamlopt when linking, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to alleviate the issue.

https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes/blob/0.18.0/CHANGES.md#ctypes-0180

* ocamlPackages.async_ssl: fix compatibility with ctypes 0.18.0 by using
  ctypes.foreign instead of ctypes.foreign.threaded since the distinction
  between threaded and unthreaded has been removed in this release.
* libbap: link with -thread so linking ctypes.foreign doesn't fail
  BinaryAnalysisPlatform/bap-bindings#18
* ocaml-ng.ocamlPackages_4_07.sodium: patch lib_gen/_tags to also add
  the `package(bigarray)` directive since `ctypes.stubs` no longer
  propgates that, leading to module not found error.
* ocaml-ng.ocamlPackages_4_{04,05,06,07}.async_ssl: mark as broken: due to
  the bigarray-compat dependency, we need dune 2 for ctypes which breaks
  compilation of the legacy async_ssl 0.11 version since we can't
  upgrade to dune 2 for it since that version doesn't support the legacy
  jbuild files.
