Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base

[Dan Rosén]

Closed, but a note to interested readers:

killy9999 on #ghc realized the reason why the stage1 compiler cannot be
built with this patch is related to that several test suite programs exit
with erros like this:

GHC/Base.lhs:1:1:
    GHC internal error: 'GHC.Base.Monad' is not in scope during type
checking, but it passed the renamer
    tcl_env of environment: []


So the error is resolved, and now productive debugging can start.
