  Log:
  [mingw/msys only]
  Undo long-standing workaround for buggy GNU ld's on mingw/msys; i.e.,
  the linker wasn't correctly generating relocatable object files when
  the number of relocs exceeded 2^16. Worked around the issue by
  hackily splitting up the GHCi object file for the larger packages
  ('base', 'ObjectIO' and 'win32') into a handful of object files,
  each with a manageable number of relocs. Tiresome and error-prone
  (but the hack has served us well!)
  
  This commit imposes a restriction on the 'ld' you use to compile
  up GHC with; it now has to be ld-2.15.x or later (something GHC
  binary dists have shipped with since 6.2.2)
