gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.

* gnu/packages/haskell.scm (ghc-4)[arguments]: Remove #:implicit-inputs?.
In 'bootstrap' phase, pass '-optc-D_GNU_SOURCE=1'.  Use
'search-input-file' to locate lib{bfd,iberty}.a, and 'which' for cpp.
Patch 'mk/config.mk.in'.  In 'configure' phase, emit "config.cache".
In 'make-boot' phase, replace "CLK_TCK" in 'nHandle.c'.
[native-inputs]: Remove now-implicit inputs; remove GLIBC-2.2.5,
GCC-MESBOOT0, and BINUTILS-MESBOOT.  Add GCC-2.95 and BINUTILS-2.33.
Remove input labels.
