Great that you are still on it!

Perhaps because of licensing issues: Readline is a GNU project - I 
believe 5.x is GPL-2+ and 6.x is GPL-3+.

As you perhaps know already, fontforge need not be licensed identically, 
but the parts linking against Readline needs to be compatibly licensed - 
e.g. LGPL-2 or GPL-2 code can link against libreadline5 but not against
libreadline6.
