Bug#904915: ghc: Please build with --disable-ld-override on powerpcspe

Hi!

Using Gold as the default linker for GHC currently causes issues with
some packages on powerpcspe. This issue can be worked around with by
switching to the default GNU BFD linker using the --disable-ld-override
configure option.

Can you please this patch to address this issue:
