gdb 7.10.1 depends on readline features which are not present in
readline 5.2 (ie the GPLv2 version). Using the gdb internal readline
is a workaround for people who don't want to switch to the GPLv3
version of readline.

(Although gdb is itself GPLv3, it's self contained and easy to exclude
from release builds).
