Shot in the dark: you have some other readline'ish library (libedit?)
installed somewhere (/usr/{lib,include}?), which configure picks up here.
But that library only provides a readline/readline.h header, no
history.h. If so, reconfigure --with-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib.

If the package respects the environment (which PostgreSQL doesn't,
unfortunately) then

CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure

should work. In PostgreSQL we don't put any -g into CFLAGS by default. If
the package uses Automake then you can also do `make install-strip' to
remove the debugging symbols at install time.
