ipmitool @1.8.18.20190905: error: use of undeclared identifier 'rl_event_hook'

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

​ipmitool does not build:

/usr/bin/clang -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I../include -I/opt/local/include -Ds6_addr16=__u6_addr.__u6_addr16  -pipe -Os -arch x86_64 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu11 -pedantic -Wformat -Wformat-nonliteral -MT ipmishell.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ipmishell.Tpo -c -o ipmishell.o ipmishell.c
ipmishell.c:114:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'rl_event_hook'
                rl_event_hook = rl_event_keepalive;
                ^
ipmishell.c:118:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
                rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout(1000 * 1000 - 1);
                ^

This is not surprising to me, since rl_event_hook and rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout are in libreadline, and it is not linking with -lreadline here (though it is elsewhere; I don't know why it's not here).

Please check the other open tickets as well for other build failures.

the build fails if readline is not installed, and succeeds when it is installed.
