ghci does not handle the backspace key correctly.

Presumably this is because ghc is not (according to ldd) linked with either
readline or editline.

ghc-6.10.1-6.fc11.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ghci
2. Type something
3. Press backspace

Actual results:
^? appears

Expected results:
character deleted
