I will give that a try tonight. I did find a patch created by the fedora team when I was going through this, but I don't know if that was it. The one I found did not fix the build failure.

I missed the fact that they had moved up to bash-4.0 in the development version. I will dig into this tonight as well so I can figure out what is amiss with my readline installation.

I was more or less concerned about getting a grasp on test suite failures throughout the book this last time around.

I would be more than willing to do a test build with an upgraded GCC this next run through. Are you talking about moving up to GCC-4.4.0 or do you have another release in mind? Would you be interested in outlining any goals that you would like to see set for the "stable" revision of the book? I am absolutely interested in lending a hand wherever I can.
