Comment (by maeder):

 As I said above, my distros do not contain the framework indicator in the
 package.conf file. This, sadly, requires that at least "`-optl-framework
 -optlGNUreadline`" needs to be passed to ghc explicitely for linking .
 However, ghci will fail with this flag (or a framework indicator in
 package.conf) if the framework is not found under /Library/Frameworks/,
 even if also the proper framework path is supplied, because ghci uses
 `compiler/ghci/Linker.lhs`.

 So a distribution that contained the framework GNUreadline in the
 package.conf file would be ghci-unusable for me (who is not allowed to
 copy the GNUreadline.framework to /Library/Frameworks/)
