I have whatever is standard on NetBSD 1.5. I noticed that configure
found a readline.h include file, but NetBSD doesn't integrate the
current GNU implementation. I did not do a test of psql to see if
the feature worked.

I'm sure you could "fix" this problem if you installed GNU readline
and referenced it in the build. Since Solaris had even worse issues
with needing GNU support utilities installed this didn't seem like a
big deal to me. OTOH it could confuse a new user.
