The change you requested is trivial, but very useful. The patch is attached.
However, bc belongs to OpenWrt packages and there are two options to make this change for everyone: push this change upstream or override bc from qi's openwrt-packages feed. I very much doubt that it will be accepted upstream; from the other hand side we already have enough overriden packages, and perhaps more to come (like binutils, for instance https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8603).

I checked and readline is required for that and needs to be specified at config time. Poking around on my build computer I noticed some failures to find software in the config.log for bc but not knowing enough, it is unclear to me if readline was requested or if the request was made and failed for some other reason.Is it possible to enable readline when building bc? Without readline
it is impossible to recall a previous line and do any changes. Both functions greatly enhance the power of the application.Thanks, Delbert _______________________________________________
