Final resolution -- this problem involves limitations of the FreeBSD
linker, which are probably not going to be resolved soon.  Took 2 steps:
first, built with --disable-shared.  Also, patched the configuration
script so that it linked the executeable "-lreadline" because FreeBSD's
readline works ok, and that somewhat helps in limiting the final size of
the executeable (which, after stripping, is ~3.0 megs).
