 Ok, I will update the port, so it only applies patch-glob.h on 5.x

 Could you please test one other thing for me? --disable-readline
 unconditionally and make sure octave really gets build without readline
 support. Then start it up and press CTRL-D. Because this is what happens
 when I press CTRL-D on -STABLE:

 But I don't know if this is a bug in -STABLE or in octave's non-readline code.
