New description:
Under Arch Linux, Sage fails to build, giving this error message:
{{{
bash: symbol lookup error: bash: undefined symbol:
rl_filename_rewrite_hook
}}}
in the middle of the sqlite build (the next package built after readline).
This can also happen on openSUSE Linux.
This is a new symbol that was added in readline 6.1; so I'm pretty sure
the problem is because our readline 6.0 is missing that symbol, so trying
to run Arch's /bin/bash with our LD_LIBRARY_PATH will fail.
We should upgrade our readline spkg to 6.1; I bet that would fix the
problem.

Comment:
I've updated the source code, and cleaned up the package a bit. If others
want to clean it up further, feel free, but I don't want to spend a lot of
time on this. It is not even causing any problems on any systems I'm
using. The .spkg can be found here.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/readline-6.1.spkg
I've checked the new .spkg actually builds on the following systems
* AIX 5.3 (my own RS/6000 7025 F50 'aixbox') I did '''not''' try to
resolve #9987
* HP-UX 11.11B (my own HP C3600 'hpbox')
* Linux (sage.math)
* !OpenSolaris 06/2009 (my own Sun Ultra 27 'hawk' which is a Sage
buildbot slave.)
* OS X (bsd.math)
* Solaris 10 SPARC ('mark' on skynet, which is a Sun Blade 2500)
I've checked that the whole of Sage builds, and passes all doctests
{{{
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 1740.4 seconds
drkir...@hawk:~/sage-4.6.rc0$
}}}
with the updated .spkg on only the following system.
* !OpenSolaris (my own Sun Ultra 27 'hawk' which is a Sage buildbot
slave)
I've '''not''' checked this on any of the systems which have been known to
cause issues with readline (FreeBSD, !ArchLinux, OpenSUSE etc).
