Ah, OK sorry, it may have nothing to do with Coccinelle.  How did you 
install menhir?  And how did you install ocaml?  It looks like there may 
be files generated by different versions of ocaml in your lib64 directory.

Could you try the following:

file /usr/lib64/ocaml/obj.cmi
file /usr/lib64/ocaml/menhirLib/menhirLib.cmi

It should tell you what version of ocaml generated the files.
