Ok forget about this, after donvla stated on AUR that it works with
readline-6-00, I looked at the differences between readline-6-00 and
readline-6-003, the latter puts libreadline.a into /usr/lib instead of
/lib. It seems when yafc looks for readline it starts in /usr/lib and
uses libreadline.a which exports xmalloc and which leads to compile
errors.

If you run configure --with-readline-lib=/lib it uses libreadline.so
and compiles.
