Aha!  I think I see the problem.

I am puitting all Gnu software in /usr/gnu, overriding the default of
/usr/local.  However, it appears -- somewhat to my surprise -- that
when I install gcc in /usr/gnu, it still assumes by default that
header files are in /usr/local/include (which does not exist on my
system), not /usr/gnu/include (where readline and everything else put
their header files).

I am going to try to rebuilg gcc to use /usr/gnu/include for other
header files (using the --with-local-prefix configuration option)
and let you know what happens.
