[perl #52818] readline detection failing (linux x86_64)

[James Keenan via RT]

On my Linux server where readline is not being detected, the location of
the failure is here:

    $conf->cc_gen('config/auto/readline/readline.in');
    my $has_readline = 0;
    eval { $conf->cc_build() };

That 'eval' is generating the error message I quoted in the previous
post, which in turn causes the step to result in 'no'.

I peered into config/auto/readline/readline.in.  I attach it here in its
entirety because the comments are so bizarre.
