The error arose with "./bootstrap --copy". When I reset gnulib to HEAD^
in my checked out repository, then I can build again. By the way, the
macro gl_FUNC_READLINE is defined in our "am/readline.m4", probably
an artifact from its origin. The reason AC_DEFINE is claimed unavailable,
that escapes me.

I will conduct some experiments.
