    Hi all :)

    I use my gdb with my own frontend, and so the first command I
issue is 'set editing off'. This effectively disables the annoying
libreadline, but anyway I get almost 800kb of (useless) code in my
gdb :((( Can I get rid of libreadline under gdb using 'configure' or
must I modify gdb directly?. I'm thinking about providing a dummy
libreadline replacemente, but IMHO the GNU debugger should provide a
configure flag (--disable-readline, like Bash and other software) to
get rid of this library if it is not going to be used.

    I have no shared libreadline in my system since I have no
programs using it (except gdb, but it can use it statically), so for
me is a burden. By now, I can disable it in my .gdbinit, but this is
not enough, I think...

    Thanks a lot for such good debugger, truly. Sometimes it makes my
life LOT easier ;))
