Hello,

I am wondering how readline 5.2 must be compiled with an explicit link 
to libncurses in the CLFS book ? There is a major disadvantage doing 
this : when compiling bash, it links against readline (by the option 
--with-installed-readline, which MUST be used to avoid the bugged 
readline from bash implementation). This is a problem because readline 
is available even when /usr is not mounted (which is the case for many 
setup such as diskless or nfs-mounted /usr), whereas ncurses is 
installed in /usr/lib{,64}, this disallow the use of readline when /usr 
not mounted, because of this explicit linking. Is there any good reason 
doing this ?

Gabriel
