	Please forget. There is a bug in readline library that only occurs on
NetBSD. I suppose pkgsrc readline is patched.


pkgsrc adds the `-fcommon' flag to the compiler to "merge" common external
symbols. Outside pkgsrc, the default behaviour looks like `-fno-common'.

To compile against a static readline library outside pkgsrc, add the
`-fcommon' flag to CFLAGS, or better yet, configure readline like:

$ CPPFLAGS=-DNEED_EXTERN_PC ./configure [...]
