Sparc needs to be on the NoSharedLibsPlatformList

I see build failures with GHC-7.8 RC2 on sparc: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ghc&ver=7.8.20140228-1&arch=sparc

These go away if I apply this patch, as suggested by Karel Gardas:

Please consider applying this fix before next RC or the final release. Thanks!
