I did 8.0.0rc1 - same behavior 
psql template1
Welcome to psql 8.0.0rc1, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit


/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: tgetent (code)  from
/usr/local/...libreadline.sl.5
Abort(coredump)

Furthermore, the regression test fails badly on 
parallel group (20 tests):  point lseg
running forever. The process list shows

If this is of any help ... 
If I can do anything else, let me know.
