Title: don't build ghci .o library files by default

- default configGHCiLib to False since ghci can load .a files

I think there no need to build .o files for ghci by default:
they just take up extra time and space.
I checked with SimonM and he also thinks this should be ok for all platforms.
Additionally no point to build .o lib files on lower tier archs
without ghci support. :)
