Types AA.t and BB.t are abstract, due to the declarations "module AA :
A1" and "module BB : A2" and  to the fact that "t" is abstract in both
interfaces A1 and A2. You should write instead

	module AA : A1 with type t = int = ...
	module BB : A2 with type t = int = ...
	module C = Make (AA) (BB)

(Another possibility is  to declare "type t =  int" in both signatures
A1 and A2 but it is probably not what you want to do.)
