do you install gdb on your embedded environnement? because that is the only
user of libreadline.

Facts:
Before
gdb + kgdb + gdbtui + libreadline.so.8 + libhistory.so.8 = 8976 k
After
gdb + kgdb + gdbtui = 8973 k

I don't think I have damaged too much your embedded system am I wrong?

Do I miss something?

(Yes I have checked that before turning into an internallib given my first
approach was to turn into a privatelib.
