Can you (Frederick, Peter, Keith, but ideally others, too)
confirm that you don't see any problems anymore, when building a
version of R-devel from sources that are newer
than (or equal to) svn revision 70632 (2016-05-19 10:59:51, see below)?
I'm asking because the question is open if these should be
"back ported" to R 3.3.0 patched or not.
Best regards,
Martin

Readline <= 6.2 shouldn't require the SIGWINCH patch, so
if older versions have trouble finding rl_resize_terminal
then you could wrap a macro around that part.
I find python related patches that use
#ifdef HAVE_RL_RESIZE_TERMINAL
so they must have configured for that. We could and
probably should do the same, but as a Linux_only guy
currently (even basically only one flavor of Linux), I'd
appreciate others to produce code for that.
Actually that was easy (in hindsight.. I took too long!)
enough, so I've now committed

Changed paths:
M configure
M configure.ac
M src/include/config.h.in
M src/unix/sys-std.c
check for rl_resize_terminal() now

... and Keith should even not see the warning anymore
(nor Peter the error, when compiling using readline 5.x instead of 6.[23]).
