Comment (by darchon):

 Replying to [comment:40 bgamari]:
 > darchon, aren't these both symptoms of the same Cabal bug? Namely that
 `-framework` isn't passed to GHC. It would be great if someone could track
 down why this is the case.

 I would find that hard to believe... because, as seen in comment:21 and
 comment:27, passing the {{{--ghc-options="-framework GLUT"}}} options to
 Cabal still doesn't make GHC pass the {{{-framework}}} flag to the system
 linker. I would find it extremely hard to believe that Cabal: 1. Parses
 the content of {{{--ghc-options}}} and 2. then actively deletes/filters
 the {{{-framework}}} part.
