This suggests that blastwave's version of readline needs some help, but
if you want to find out what went wrong you need to do more work than
"tail config.log".  The last several hundred lines of output in that
file will usually just be configure dumping all its internal variables
--- everything after the comment

## ---------------- ##
## Cache variables. ##
## ---------------- ##

is usually unhelpful in my experience.  You have to look at the output
from the failed test itself, just above that.
