Bug#94324: g++ cannot compile <readline/readline.h>

[Maciej Kalisiak <mac@dgp.toronto.edu>]

Package: g++-2.95
Version: 2.95.4-0.010407

and/or

Package: libreadline4-dev
Version: 4.2-2

Compiling the following simple single-line program (call it test.cc)
  #include <readline/readline.h>

with
  g++ test.cc

fails with:
  In file included from /usr/include/readline/keymaps.h:37,

		   from test.cc:1:

Browsing around the web revealed this potentially relevant link:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/1998-q3/msg00006.html

I believe I have started experiencing this problem after upgrading to the
latest g++ package.
