Indeed, specifying throw() in extern "C" by carelessly using the __P
macro is what causes the problem.  I guess it is currently impossible to
#include <readline/readline.h> from within any C++ program with this
release of readline4.    :-(

Feel free to help them on this one.  Maybe one should increase the
severity of this bug from "normal" to something release-critical.  My 
satanic plan is:  I'll dupload now anyways so the build-daemon will bark
bugreports which we can then use to exert some pressure in case nothing
happens.

Thanks for pointing this out
