#841: Build order causes errors when booting from HC files

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
When booting from HC files using `./distrib/hc-build --enable-hc-boot-
unregisterised`, compilation fails when linking the stage-1 compiler. The
linker prints the message `/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lghccompat`. This
happens because the library (in ghc/lib) has not been built.
In ghc/Makefile, the order in which subdirectories are compiled is set
specially when booting from HC files:
{{{
ifeq "$(BootingFromHc)" "YES"
SUBDIRS = includes rts docs compiler lib utils driver
else
# assign SUBDIRS = something else
}}}
A solution is to change the order to: `includes rts docs lib compiler
utils driver`.
