I think it may be an out-of-date libtool; when I reran libtoolize, the
build process ran to completion (makes a mental note to file a bug)

It's not the system readline library; it's readline.so, a module dlopened
by rep to provide readline access from Lisp.

Well, it couldn't fulfill its function (see above) otherwise. Anyway,
from what Marcus said (and the fact that libtoolize fixed it), I think
it's just an old libtool that doesn't like the Hurd.
