scan.o *should* be looking for __imp__rl_instream, not rl_instream.  The
problem seems to be that scan.c doesn't see the declaration of
rl_instream as it appears in the *cygwin*
/usr/include/readline/readline.h:

extern READLINE_EXPORT_VAR(FILE *) rl_instream;

which expands to:

extern __declspec(dllimport) FILE * rl_instream;

Does scan.c declare rl_instream itself as "extern FILE * rl_instream",
instead of including readline.h ?
