Thanks! The whole problem was that I had accidentally downloaded the 32-bit version, when I meant to get the 64-bit version. It works without any extra flags beyond --prefix.

I think that "--with-gmp-libraries"
states the location of libgmp that the installed ghc
will use when linking programs.

Your error indicates that a .so file referenced
from the executable (contained in the binary package)
"utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd"
could not be resolved.

$ ldd utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd

if it says  ... libgmp.so.3 => not found
then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or check values in /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig
