Comment:

 Sorry, my explanation was a bit misleading.

 Replying to [comment:2 igloo]:
 > Why is the non-framework preferable?

 Most package managers, including my favorite [http://www.pkgsrc.org/
 pkgsrc], install `libgmp` to some non-standard locations. If the
 `configure` script ignores whatever paths specified with `--with-gmp-
 includes`/`--with-gmp-libraries`, the resulting binary might end up being
 linked to `GMP.framework` in the system-standard path (which might be
 installed by some 3rd party softwares), instead of `libgmp` installed with
 a package manager. For that reason [http://pkgsrc.se/wip/ghc pkgsrc-
 wip/ghc] has locally had the above patch for a long time but I think it's
 worth merging to the upstream.
