Urias,

It could be.  It seemed weird though, as even the building itself was
taking ages (more dependencies or not), so the whole process seemed
off.  I was kind of tired at the time so I didn't really investigate
after the partition ran out of room.

I'll probably attempt again tonight to build the x86_64 variant of
Readline, so we'll see how it goes.
