    Thanks a lot!

    Unfortunately, there's also the different parameter count for
    el_init, and parameter type for history (the patches from me
    contained code attempting to handle at least the el_init thing):

    checking whether to use libedit... yes
    checking for tgetflag in -ltermcap... yes
    checking for el_set in -ledit... yes
    updating cache ./config.cache
    creating ./config.status
    creating Makefile
    creating config.h
    ===> Building for xdebugclient-0.9.0
    cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -O -pipe -march=k6 -c main.c
    main.c: In function `initialize_libedit':
    main.c:76: `H_SETSIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)
    main.c:76: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    main.c:76: for each function it appears in.)
    main.c:76: warning: passing arg 2 of `history' makes integer from pointer without a cast
    main.c:79: too many arguments to function `el_init'
