-fghci-leak-cheak causes many testsuite failures with the quick build flavour

As originally reported on the ghc-devs mailing list, the -fghci-leak-check flag is causing several tests to fail when GHC is built with the quick build flavour. On my machine, here are all the tests that fail:

Unexpected failures:
   ghci/prog001/prog001.run            prog001 [bad stdout] (ghci)

   perf/space_leaks/T4029.run          T4029 [bad stdout] (ghci)

Here is the full test output. Generally, the test output discrepancies are all of the form of extra lines of:

+-fghci-leak-check: HomeModInfo for D is still alive!
+-fghci-leak-check: ModIface is still alive!
+-fghci-leak-check: ModDetails is still alive!
+-fghci-leak-check: Linkable is still alive!
