maybe ghc's editline bindings weren't built when you built ghc. Can you
please check whether ghc's editline package is installed, for example by:

ghci

is the only one of the darcs GHC boot packages missing at the source
distributions (6.10,6.11) - might this problem be nonexistent if building
from darcs? What's the reason to omit readline?
