Actually some sources recommend to just symlink libreadline.so.4 to libreadline.so.5. I haven't tried, but since version 5 is supposed to be upwards compatible to version 4 it's reasonable to expect that it works (to a certain extend).
there is an even simpler solution, upgrade the linux version on the build box. from a previous email by simon marlow: "The tarball is built on an old RedHat 9 system with readline 4 on it" rh9 is over four years old, and those four years there have been countless upgrades in many key free software packages used by linux distros. installing a modern linux on this box is a thirty minute exercise.
