Domen Kožar aafe3d29c1 ghc: apply a patch to fix common gold linker problem
It would otherwise result into undefined referenecs for some functions
in the base when using the gold linker:

   error: undefined reference to 'sqrt'

Fixes https://github.com/bos/double-conversion/pull/17

Previously ghc option -optl=-lm was used for packages depending on
such functions, but that could result into

   fatal error: cannot mix -r with dynamic object /nix/store/7crrmih8c52r8fbnqb933dxrsp44md93-glibc-2.25/lib/libm.so.6

in some situations like profiling builds.

Patch was prepared by Michael Bishop and Niklas Hambüchen.

Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27584.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] base: Add `extra-libraries: m` because base uses libm
functions.
Linking with gold needs this because in contrast to ld, gold
doesn't implicitly link libm.
