 ghc fails to build when libelf is installed (see the error below).[[BR]]
 The problem stems from the fact that the ghc configure script incorrectly
 [[BR]]
 tries to include ${prefix}/include/nlist.h and link in libelf.a.[[BR]]
 ghc should include /usr/include/nlist.h and not use libelf.a at all.

 Attached are proposed changes to both ghc and libelf to fix the problem.

 The change to libelf does not seem to affect bug-buddy or dynamips[[BR]]
 (the only ports I could find which depend on libelf).
