[Bug build/17077] --with-system-readline uses bundled readline include files


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17077

--- Comment #4 from Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil at redhat dot com> ---
That would not work as GDB needs patched readline.

Fortunately most of the patches are for non-Linux systems.  But even for Linux
Fedora needs to carry one:
  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/readline.git/tree/readline-6.2-gdb.patch

Maybe the required patches are all gone now with readline-6.3 but GDB sources
still bundle readline-6.2:
  [PATCH] [RFC] Sync readline to version 6.3 patchlevel 8
