Comment:

 If you look at (the description of) the prebuild macos binaries for 6.6,
 you'll see that they include a post-install script fiddling with readline.
 As far as I can see, the current head has no readline issues.  NB: if you
 keep your readline in a non-standard location (eg, !MacPorts installs it
 into /opt/local), you have to pass `--with-readline-libraries` and
 `--with-readline-includes` to configure.

 I close this bug as it is an issue with the 6.6 binaries and not with the
 current tree.
