OK, so then config.h should contain a line
#define MISSING_RL_TILDE_EXPANSION 1

If it does not, then I conclude that your system is missing the
equivalent of the -*devel*- package for readline.  I.e., you still have
the library in your path but you do not have the matching header files
in your path.

On the other hand, I am puzzled by the specific line you show from
config.log, because I don't see any check for "readline/tilde.h usability"
in the configure script generated from current CVS source for either
4.4 or 4.5.  Where did your configure script come from?
