Yes, that is another reason not to use this broken switch.
And last time I checked (AIX 4.3.3), -bexpall did not export all needed
symbols
(e.g. globals) from the backend eighter. And the counterpart -bimpall
did also not work.
Dynamic loading did not work without the .imp and .exp files :-(

PS: I'd prefer if readline was only linked where it is needed, namely in
psql.
