Readline <= 6.2 shouldn't require the SIGWINCH patch, so if older versions have trouble finding rl_resize_terminal then you could wrap a macro around that part.
The isearch C-c bug has existed forever, according to Chet Ramey. Yes, I had to retrain myself to use C-g to exit isearch but it's confusing. It would be nice to fix this C-c bug on older versions too, but my solution used some global variables and I'm not sure which Readline version they date from. Out of curiosity, did you delete the HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H block? Thanks so much for working this out! Frederick P.S. I do use Emacs too, but I have some bindings which stuff the current region into a numbered 'GNU screen' window (where R is running) - I was never a fan of inferior Emacs processes. Also a keybinding which stuffs "source('CURRENT_FILE')\n". And a rxvt-unicode 'url-select' extension which copies text after a "> " prompt, to get commands I edited back into Emacs. That's why I still use the basic interface.
