Fix up HOST/TARGET_OS ifdefs
-------------------------------------
Sigbjorn and Simon helped me to understand when it's appropriate to
say 'ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS' and when 'ifdef mingw32_TARGET_OS'. I've
documented this in the building guide.
I've fixed up the ifdefs I erroneously changed last week, in this
commit. I'm not certain about all of them. For examples, in
DriverPhases there's an ifdef that deals with filename suffices.
Should this be the filename suffices for the system on which GHC runs
(HOST), or the system on which the compiled code will run (TARGET)?
Currently it's the latter.
Similarly, there's some path mangling ('/' vs '\') in DriverState:
should this be for the system on which GHC runs (HOST) or the system
on which the compiled code will run (TARGET)? Currently the former.
I think some of the darwin_TARGET_OS should be darwin_HOST_OS's.
Finally, for the GHCi stuff we require that HOST_OS = TARGET_OS. Rather than
make an arbitrary choice in (e.g.) Linker.lhs, it's be better to say
'#ifdef mingw32_OS', and arrange that this macro is set only in stage-2.
I have not done this.
I think these are 'right'. But I'm not sure the filename mangling is
consistent throughout.
[Changes in the original commit, which had a bogus message.]
