Comment:

 On platforms where we're switching to a dynamically-linked GHCi this won't
 be an issue.  I suggest that we continue to ship HSbase.o on other
 platforms for the time being, since I'd rather not have that extra startup
 delay for runhaskell scripts and suchlike.

 Ian - it looks like we can skip building the HSlib.o files when
 `DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT==YES`, could you do that?
