libreadline exports these?? I'd say you have a seriously braindead copy
of libreadline ... can you recompile a fresh copy off the net?

The inet failures look like there is consistently no support for IPv6.
I wonder if the linker is somehow replacing our own inet-parsing
subroutines with a non-IPv6-aware set. It's conceivable that there
could be a name collision with subroutines from an old version of
libbind.
