In your original messasge, you had

  gcc -c -I/home/pben/readline-4.3 -I. -I../.. -I../../liboctave ...

Is /home/pben/readline-4.3 the directory where you installed
readline-4.3, or is that the directory that contains the sources for
readline-4.3?  My guess is that it contains the sources and so it has
the readline config.h, so the compiler finds that instead of Octave's
config.h file.

You should probably install readline properly.  You can do it inside
your own home directory if you need to, using something like

  configure --prefix=$HOME/local ; make all install

and then tell Octave to find readline and its libraries using

  LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME/local/include ./configure ...
