My gcc does not complain about that missing directory. I was able to
create a working installation under solaris with:

./configure --disable-opengl --disable-glut --disable-openal

I have the same situation and it was no problem. But I cannot answer
your question about GHC_LIB_DIR.

P.S.

if I compile the ghc without "SplitObjs=NO" in mk/build.mk I get
annoying but probably harmless warnings during compilations:

Warning: retaining unknown function `getpwuid_r' in output from C compiler
Warning: retaining unknown function `getpwnam_r' in output from C compiler
Warning: retaining unknown function `getgrgid_r' in output from C compiler
