  1. Fix configuation of ldProgram 

    Standard GNU `ld` ues `--relocatable` while `ld.gold` uses a `-relocatable`
flag (with a single `-`). Code will now detect both versions.

  2. Chain configuration of ldProgram 

    `ldProgram` gets configured in two places, a seemingly default and
a GHC specific version. The later needs to be updated so that it
first calls the default configuration and then the new GHC version.

  3. Use linker capability detection to improve linker use 

    The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` has been renamed to
`linkerSupportsGhciLibs` because its about the linker not the compiler.

The function `comperSupportsGhciLibs` was using the compiler version
as a proxy for whether the linker supports relocatable objects. Now
support for relocatable objects is detected by running the linker.
