I have downloaded insight 6.5 several weeks ago and compiled it
successfully. Following some usage, I tried to compile it in relase mode
using 'gmake -release'. The make failed, due to inavailability of
readline.o.
It seems that the readline sub-directory does not include a -release target.
I've never heard of the "-release" flag. I can find no mention of it in
the texinfo manual or in the official manual from the FSF. AFAICT,
telling GNU make to use the flag "-release" causes it to behave as if
you had just used "-r" (which ignores built-in rules).
Nonetheless, readline is imported from upstream sources by gdb. If you
have a problem with readline, it is best to tell those responsible for
it. From src/MAINTAINERS:
