ghc no longer needs to build HS*.o ghci library files

I believe that ghci libraries files (HS*.o) are now redundant (and Cabal no longer builds them at least in trunk) so I think it would be good to stop ghc building them also now.

I didn't try hard but didn't work out yet how to do this in the ghc build system - patching Cabal didn't seem to be sufficient.
