BUG: ghc fails to build when libelf is installed

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

ghc fails to build when libelf is installed (see the error below).
The problem stems from the fact that the ghc configure script incorrectly
tries to include ${prefix}/include/nlist.h and link in libelf.a.
ghc should include /usr/include/nlist.h and not use libelf.a at all.

Attached are proposed changes to both ghc and libelf to fix the problem.

The change to libelf does not seem to affect bug-buddy or dynamips
(the only ports I could find which depend on libelf).
