    ----------------------------------
    	Fix the no-GHC.Err problem in GHCi
    	----------------------------------
    
    Merge this to the stable branch.
    
    Pattern-match failure error-ids are wired-in, which means the
    GHC.Err interface isn't loaded, which in turn confused the linker
    when tried to find what package GHC.Err is from.
    
    Now we exclude wired-in names from the free variables looked at
    by the linker (in Linker.linkExpr), and make sure the base package
    is loaded unconditionally (DriverState.initPackageList).
