    Hi,
    
    
    on xubuntu 20.04, if I just do make as suggested here I get a Linux
    build without readline.  I need to do
    
    
        make linux-readline
    
    
    to get readline built in.  I don't know how others feel, but it
    seems to me that with readline would be a more useful default make
    target.
    
    
    Best, Tony
