I just rebuilt 64 bit gawk for testing, and cygport still adds the
readline dependency.
And I think I see why that is. It's a packaging bug in readline.
For some reason, the /usr/bin/cyghistory7.dll and /usr/bin/cygreadline7.dll
files are present in *both* packages, readline and libreadline7.
The readline package quite certainly shouldn't contain these files?
Yaakov, did you provide the 64 bit readline stuff? If so, can you have
a look why the DLLs are present in both packages and fix it?
Thanks,
Corinna
