ok (with my and tb's comments offlist)

If anyone has an idea what's up with readline, I'd love to hear it,
it's a bit of a blocker for switching to 3.10 by default and I don't find
the build system particularly easy to work with.

There's one fairly obvious issue (tb and I both found this one), the
newer build system wants a libreadline.so symlink; putting that in place
temporarily in /usr/lib works around that but doesn't fix the problem.
