Thanks to those who responded to my query about linux. Yes, I also
built python1.0.0 on linux without any trouble at all. I used
gcc-2.5.8 and libc4.5.14(? changes day-to-day).

I did --with-readline=/usr/lib using libreadline.a from gdb-4.11. I
did this on both linux and on hpux9.01.

If you use libreadline.a from gdb4.11 you will need xmalloc, xrealloc
and friends. These are found in libiberty.a. I just manually added
-liberty to the link step.
