I am forwarding an error reported on the inetutils mailing list.
The problem is that readline 6.x exports `xmalloc' and `xrealloc', and
it causes a linker error when used together with gnulib.
Probably readline shouldn't export these symbols, but I think it should
be possible somehow to workaround this problem in gnulib as well.
What do you think?
This is a known bug, the reason if I recall is that readline exports
xmalloc and xrealloc is to allow programs to hook their own version
into readline. So the readline maintainer has declined any fixes for
this.
