Well, for starters this indicates that you're building against a
locally-installed version of readline that doesn't come from the Debian
package. (and which, furthermore, appears to be mis-linked.)

You should figure out why you have locally-installed core libraries and find
another solution to your original problem so that you can remove these from
the system path; then this build failure should go away on its own.

Alternatively, you can set up a chroot build environment (using, e.g., the
pbuilder package) and do your test builds there.
