Comment (by vs at foldr.org):

 Just a clarification: GHCi doesn't use paths from ldOptions at all. The
 flag is only for invoking the linker on compilation. My comment was rather
 "It's easier to fix it in the Darwin-framework than in fptools. Take a
 look at what's FreeBSD doing for a related (although different) issue".
 But you're right, for some obscure instances FreeBSD might also need the
 additional path as well for readline in GHCi. Maybe
 ghc::compiler::ghci::Linker.lhs::linkPackage should grep ldOptions for
 "-L", like it is currently doing for "-l". IIRC, libraryDirs is supposed
 to point to Haskell-land only. Simon?
