Hmmm...

No.  That's intending to call the readline function append_history.
That call has been there since 2009.  I'm not sure what changed
between your 15.6 and 15.8 builds, but that wasn't it.

However, that call is only compiled if HAVE_APPEND_HISTORY is
defined, which indicates that configure successfully probed
for existence of the function.  Maybe you need to take a closer
look at what configure did?
