I'm not sure I understand: are you saying that the local patches we
have in GDB wrt the original readline 5.1 are those listed above?  If
so, the last two are not about MS platforms.

Can you show these patches in full?  I'm quite sure the changes
related to __MSDOS__ and __GO32__ are still needed, but I'd like to
review them.  I could also try looking at the __MINGW32__ patches.

Thanks.
