I tried resupping and it didn't help.  I tried building on my i386
box, and it worked.

I compared the source trees between the two machines, and the relevant
difference is that my pmax had a /usr/src/gnu/dist/readline/config.h
while the i386 did not.  This makes sense, because I had run
/usr/src/gnu/dist/configure a few days ago on the pmax, whie
experimenting with different versions of the pmax toolchain.  After I
rmed /usr/src/gnu/dist/*/config.h the problem went away.

The parts of the tree that are building from /usr/src/gnu/dist
probably ought to have '-I.' prepended to their CFLAGS to prevent this
sort of weirdness from showing up.

The definition of _rl_output_character_function really does conflict
with parameter 3 of our tputs() prototype.  This isn't noticable in
the "normal" case because no tputs() prototype is in scope.
/usr/src/gnu/lib/readline/config.h does NOT define HAVE_TERMCAP_H.

Cheers,
entropy
