You need to edit CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64 and comment the
	COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY = READLINE
line and uncomment the correct line:
	COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY = READLINE_NCURSES
as described in the preceding comment:

# Depending on your version of Linux you'll want one of the following
# lines to enable command-line editing and history in iocsh.  If you're
# not sure which, start with the top one and work downwards until the
# build doesn't fail to link the readline library.  If none of them work,
# comment them all out to build without readline support.
