How to repeat:
Use BUILD/compile-dist

I think this occurs when switching between compiling with BUILD/compile-pentium-debug(which specifically specifies that readline should be used) and BUILD/compile-dist(which uses the default from configure). Most likely the symlink "include/readline" is not rebuilt and thus this error occurs.

Can't repeat it anymore. :(

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
