I think it's a licensing issue, Apple is probably trying to save people (themselves?) from linking against GPL stuff without realizing the implications.

Probably yes. But they ship bash with readline enabled... oh well, I'm not masochistic enough to flog that particular horse.

It would be pretty hard to unintentionally violate the GPL by accident with a readline-enabled bash executable considering that you can't link to an MH_EXECUTABLE -- and even if you could, it's stripped so the symbols aren't there anymore anyway.
