	I copied readline into the gdb directory to make use of my
extra vi stuff, and had to define the following to get it to link:

int follow_symbolic_links = 1;
char *the_current_working_directory = 0;
char *get_working_directory ();
char *make_absolute ();
pathname_backup ();

To be absolutely clear, I just included those functions from bash.

This is not a bash bug.

Readline is not officially released yet.

You have to compile it as a separate library, without defining -DSHELL
(which is why you had the problem linking).
