I can't reproduce this.  Since I do my development on Mac OS X, I would
have noticed these. :-)

The setenv error looks like a problem with configure; the undefined symbols
look like you built bash-4.0 against a version of readline earlier than
readline-6.0.

Look at the config.log and config.status files for more information.
