[issue39367] readline module core dumps Python 3.8.1 when calling exit()

A big "thank you" to everyone, I installed readline-develop and rebuilt from source, and now the problem is fixed.

The reason I am building from source is that Fedora 30 provides Python 3.7.3 and I wanted to try out the new features (like the walrus operator) that were introduced in version 3.8.

I hope to get to the point of contributing to Python itself, for now I am looking mainly at extending Python with C++ and embedding Python in C++ applications. 

Thanks again, 
Horace
