Summary: LDFLAGS not used by generated ghc

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I specified LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc which is needed to
link programs of any size on AIX, including ghc.

The stage1/ghc-inplace compiler, however, is not
passing this along to gcc.

I can manually run the commands that make is running,
add -optl -Wl,-bbigtoc and get the correct result, but
GHC should do this itself.

This is GHC 6.4.1.

The final (stage2) compiler also does not honor these flags
automatically.
