Drop-in replacements for integer library no longer work
I was trying to replace the integer-gmp library with integer-simple in a recent GHC tree, as described at:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReplacingGMPNotes
Unfortunately, simply adding "INTEGER_LIBRARY=integer-simple" to the build.mk no longer works, because compiler/PrelNames has a hard-wired reference to the module GHC.Integer.Internals, which integer-simple doesn't provide.
