Bug description

$ cat x.mli
type t = string
$ cat x.ml
type t = int

$ ocamlopt -c x.mli
$ ocamlopt -c -short-paths x.ml
File "x.ml", line 1:
Error: The implementation x.ml does not match the interface x.cmi:
Type declarations do not match:
type t = t
is not included in
type t = bytes
File "x.ml", line 1, characters 5-12: Actual declaration

The "type t = t" seems wrong.

(Let's ignore that it says "bytes" rather than "string"...)

Fixed in 4.02 at revision 15246.

The fix is a bit hacky: we export an older environment inside the error, so that local definitions are not used for looking up short paths inside type, class type, and class definitions.
Not sure where it could be done otherwise.
