Peter, All,

What does actually prevent kodi from linking with readline, is that
happens to be built before?

I'll kick-start a build here (without your patch) and see what goes
linked with readline, if anything.

In the meantime, I've pondered applying this patch anyway, because it
removes the explicit dependency, so that if kodi still links to
readline, that would be an accident due to another intermediate
dependency, and thus not our fault. But I am not too happy either, so
I refrained eventually...

Yann E. MORIN.
