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.

which is based on readline-6.0.p4.spkg from #9530.

Comment:
I had difficulty merging the changes made on this ticket to the changes
made in readline-6.0.p4.spkg (see #9530). There were a lot of rejects and
I was less confident of sorting them out, then doing the changes manually.
As such, I've taken the readline-6.0.p4.spkg, and manually made the
changes originally made here. It's not totally impossible I've missed one,
but I think they are ok.
So I'm attaching a new patch, {{{9523-brand-new-patch-based-on-
readline-6.0.p4.patch}}} which should have all the changes need to sort
out the update, and clean the package somewhat.
The updated package can be found at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/readline-6.1.spkg
(if you want to look at my previous attempt, see
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/readline-6.1.spkg)
