#5184: createDirectory does not retry on EINTR (interrupted)

-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
With GHC 7.0.3 on Mac OS X 32bit the createDirectory call does not retry
if the call is interrupted. I would expect the call to be retried.
Unfortunately, I have not determined a small test program for this bug.
This is the output from when this issue occurs:
{{{
/home/coconnor/Development/dev-system: createDirectory: interrupted
(Interrupted system call)
}}}
Interestingly the directory indicated by this output does not match the
directory requested to be created. The program calls:
{{{
createDirectoryIfMissing True "/home/coconnor/Development/dev-
system/build/"
}}}
And it is known, at the time, that the directory
"/home/coconnor/Development/dev-system" exists. Perhaps the method
checking for if a directory exists is also receiving EINTR?
This same program works as expected on linux 32bit & 64bit using GHC
7.0.3.
