Yes, this is a bug introduced by the libreadline maintainer from
upstream in version 4.2.  Did you compile/install it yourself or does your
version come from a distribution?  Distributions should have fixed this
one!  The problem is with a conflicting definition of __P.  We recently
discussed this for Debian.  Here is the URL to the Debian BTS:

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=55626&archive=yes&repeatmerged=yes>

IIRC this was fixed by changing the preprocessor condistionals in
include/readline/rlstdc.h to this style:

#if !defined (__P)
#  if defined (__STDC__) || defined (__GNUC__) || defined (__cplusplus)
#    define __P(protos) protos
#  else
#    define __P(protos) ()
#  endif
#endif
