Since #429,
Emitauxclears various caches before calling the assembler, including the typechecker's cache of loadedcmifiles.When using
ocamloptto compile a single file, this saves memory. However, when using the native toplevel, this breaks short-paths (which relies on the cmi cache), and probably slows things down (because there are usually multiple phrases and the cache is useful). So, this patch turns off this mechanism when run from the toplevel.(Future work: it may also be worth disabling this mechanism when
ocamloptis being used to compile multiple files)
