Details:

The readline-based frontend hardcodes the readline libraries in
bin/Makefile.am:

kawa_LDADD = $(READLINE_LIB_PATH) -lreadline -lhistory $(kawa_EXTRA_LIBS)

However some platforms such as OpenBSD do not have a libhistory and therefore
kawa fails to build. The attached patch adds a configure check for libhistory
and uses it when found.

Idealy the -lreadline would be a configure check too, but this works fine for
now.
