I thought that [1] could be fixed by ensuring that ncurses is available in the
environment (because ghc exports it as a propagateBuildInput), and indeed that
change fixed *some* build failures we've had before. However, the same error
still occurs with other packages, like hledger [2] and Agda [3]. Frankly, I
have no idea why those packages fail and others don't. But clearly the fix was
inadequate, so I'm reverting commit a8076c76.

Required adding a flag to the generic builder to build Setup.hs with
core packages even if there is an override in buildInputs, to break
circular dependencies.
