To use the readline library in this case, you will have to create a
subdirectory of your build directory called readline, copy
readline/Makefile into it, edit the Makefile to contain a proper VPATH
line (and possibly edit the compiler flags set in the Makefile), and
pass the configure script a --with-readline=DIRECTORY option giving it
the absolute (!) pathname of the readline build directory.
Note that Modules/Makefile copies the original Setup file to the build
directory if it finds no Setup file there. This means that you can
edit the Setup file for each architecture independently. For this
