Ah, yes; that looks right.

This was easier than I thought, there's a --enable-readline we weren't passing.

I decided to ship it for now for testing purposes; the static linking issue is
annoying but I need to learn their funky build system in order to fix it.

One other note, I just saw it bundles libffi, but it's not actually built
