Add -fuse-ld flag to CFLAGS during configure
The decisions made by configure later in the script may depend upon the linker used. Consequently, it is important that configure uses the same linker as GHC will eventually use. For instance, on Nix I found that a program requiring `libpthread` would link fine with only `-lrt` when linked with BFD ld. However, with gold we needed to explicitly provide the `-lpthread` dependency. Presumably the former would happily loaded any `NEEDED` libraries whereas the latter wants them explicitly given. Regardless, since `configure`'s `NEED_PTHREAD_LIB` check didn't use the `-fuse-ld` flag that GHC would eventually use, we inferred the wrong value, resulting in link errors later in the build.
