Using --enable-history-file only does not work. According to the INSTALL description, this requires --with-readline=gnu. As you stated above, such a version may not be distributed due to the license. This one of the reasons why I install heavily used preograms from source (package). Another one is, that these are then optimized for my computer and often faster.
