I'm not sure, but there might be some order of flags or packages you could give to Cabal which would cause it to link to readline first; I think if gcc gets "-lreadline -ledit" in that order then it will do what you want. Passing "-v" or "-v3" to cabal build should let you see what's going on.
Yes, -v3 indeed shows that edit comes before readline. Adding this extra line fixes it:
Extra-Libraries: readline
Is adding that extra line a robust, portable and documented way of solving the problem? Whew, I'm really glad it's fixed now. It took me half a day to narrow the problem down. :-) Thanks, Martijn.
