It might be in libreadline, as is the case for GNU Readline.

   http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg52955.html
   tells me that OpenBSD has add_history in libreadline instead of
   libhistory.  Do we want to use OpenBSD's libreadline or just stick
   to GNU's?

I fail to see what the problem is, just do:

Test if add_history is in libreadline, if it is not, test if it is in
libhistory, else do not use add_history.
