building against gmp in a nonstandard location

Ah, ok.  --with-gmp-* alone, without setting environment variables,
creating mk/build.mk, or anything else, gives the same error as
--with-gmp-* plus environment variables ("No rule to make target
`stage1//.../gmp.h', needed by `stage1/parser/cutils.o'.")

Trying 6.8.2.20080317, using --with-ghc-*, setting environment
variables, creating mk/build.mk, and hacking mkdependC.prl to omit
dependencies on absolute paths, I get past the gmp problems, only to
run into a similar problem with readline.  I've put the appropriate
flags for readline in $CPPFLAGS/$LDFLAGS and mk/build.mk, and the
build ends with:

So next, I tried also passing --with-readline-{includes,libraries} to
the toplevel ./configure.  As I hoped, those arguments were relayed to
the configure script for readline, but that still isn't enough:

There are no --with-* flags for ncurses, so the only ways I can see to
say where ncurses is are the ones I'm already using, and which are
apparently insufficient - $CPPFLAGS/$LDFLAGS in the environment, and
SRC_HC_OPTS/SRC_HSC2HC_OPTS/SRC_CC_OPTS/GHC_CC_OPTS in mk/build.mk.
