Comment (by maeder):

 I noticed this problem, too (#1395, comment 7). Adding a "GNUreadline/"
 prefix to some include lines was not sufficient and should be reverted!
 Setting include-dirs in readline.cabal is only a solution if the framework
 is (always) installed under /Library/Frameworks. (It would not work with
 my local framework.)

 When I built ghc-6.8.1 on mac I've put the following into `mk/build.mk`:

 {{{
 SRC_HC_OPTS += -optl-F/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks -optl-framework
 -optlGNU
 readline
 CC_OPTS += -I/home/maeder/Library/Frameworks/GNUreadline.framework/Headers
 }}}

 I've also added the following last line to the target
 `stamp/configure.library.build$(CONFIGURE_STAMP_EXTRAS).%` in
 libraries/Makefile
 so that cabal knows how to include my header files:

 {{{
                   --with-hsc2hs=../../utils/hsc2hs/hsc2hs-inplace \
                   --hsc2hs-options="-C $(CC_OPTS)" \
 }}}

 (A GNUreadline framework indicator is missing in my distro's package.conf,
 because configure did not recognize it, anyway.)
