Obscure?! Underwhelming?! Has there been some email I missed? [I was on vacation for awhile.] I only found two problems. The readline one seemed trivially fixable. Haven't put much thought into the other one (top level configure specifying full path for --with-gcc-version-trigger or some such, not bfd). If this feature is removed (by the fact that bugs when found won't be fixed) that'd be a great shame!
