Many, many thanks, ./configure is now happy, and make is chugging along....

Everything
seems quite functional, except that readline produces the following:

in config.log... do I interpret this correctly as a gentle suggestion that readline should be remade as a 64bit library? Can this be done?

Yes, yes. You need to build it with cc -xarch=v9 or gcc -m64: looks like
I used the latter and probably there was a good reason.


My
(superficial) look at the readline docs didn't offer any advice in this
direction, nor did my googling produce any.


I realize that the real hidden message here is probably to accept
that it is time to make the transition to ESS, but I'm still resisting
this,

Um, you need a 64-bit emacs with readline for a 64-bit ESS ....

and hope that someone could suggest a way to get readline going.
