Bit-rotting(?) HUGS-specific code in GHC boot libraries

[Johan Tibell]

I think we should delete the code.

It most likely doesn't work anymore due to bitrot (i.e. no one has tested
the other side of the #fidef in years) so it adds clutter without value. If
someone feels strongly about keeping it I think they should

 * fix it and
 * set up a buildbot so we know when we break it in the future.
