5.0+4.02.3 opam package seems broken for ocaml 4.02.3

Hi,
I tried to install ppx_tools.5.0+4.02.3 with opam (which is requiried by js_of_ocaml 2.8) and I got the following error.

I'm seeing something similar.

File "ast_mapper_class.ml", line 41, characters 40-41:
Error: this expression has type Parsetree.object_field list
but an expression was expected of type
('a * Parsetree.attributes * Parsetree.core_type) list

It's already fixed in master, but a release is needed.

ITMT hackaround: opam pin add ppx_tools https://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ppx_tools.git
