Log:
  lang/ghc: use CONFIGURE_ENV instead of BINARY_ALIAS on arm

  GHC saves the llvm command name (llc, opt, clang) found at compile time in its
  settings file.
  Using BINARY_ALIAS allows lang/ghc to build but breaks
  ghc ports (devel/hs-cabal-install for example)
  GHC configure script accepts now to define LLC, OPT, CLANG as
  environment variable, switch to it.
