Comment (by josephsacco):

 Ryan,

 The bad news is when 'port selfupdate' failed,  I installed the MacPorts
 update using the prebuilt dmg archive,  so my ancient PPC is now at
 version 2.4.3.  Grrr....

 I do have a hunch...

 Poking around the source code for the "base", readline.c contains the
 following:

 {{{
 #ifdef HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H
 #include <readline/readline.h>
 #endif

 ...

 /* Work-around libedit incompatibilities */
 #if HAVE_DECL_RL_FILENAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION
 #   define FILENAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION rl_filename_completion_function
 #elif HAVE_DECL_FILENAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION
 #   define FILENAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION filename_completion_function
 #endif

 #if HAVE_DECL_RL_USERNAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION
 #   define USERNAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION rl_username_completion_function
 #elif HAVE_DECL_USERNAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION
 #   define USERNAME_COMPLETION_FUNCTION username_completion_function
 #endif

 #if HAVE_DECL_RL_COMPLETION_MATCHES
 #   define COMPLETION_MATCHES rl_completion_matches
 #elif HAVE_DECL_COMPLETION_MATCHES
 #   define COMPLETION_MATCHES completion_matches
 #endif
 }}}

 readline @7.0.003_1 is active, so let's look at <readline/readline.h> and
 see where filename_completion_function is declared:

 {{{
 /* Completion functions. */
 extern int rl_complete_internal PARAMS((int));
 extern void rl_display_match_list PARAMS((char **, int, int));

 extern char **rl_completion_matches PARAMS((const char *,
 rl_compentry_func_t *));
 extern char *rl_username_completion_function PARAMS((const char *, int));
 extern char *rl_filename_completion_function PARAMS((const char *, int));

 extern int rl_completion_mode PARAMS((rl_command_func_t *));

 #if 0
 /* Backwards compatibility (compat.c).  These will go away sometime. */
 extern void free_undo_list PARAMS((void));
 extern int maybe_save_line PARAMS((void));
 extern int maybe_unsave_line PARAMS((void));
 extern int maybe_replace_line PARAMS((void));

 extern int ding PARAMS((void));
 extern int alphabetic PARAMS((int));
 extern int crlf PARAMS((void));

 extern char **completion_matches PARAMS((char *, rl_compentry_func_t *));
 extern char *username_completion_function PARAMS((const char *, int));
 extern char *filename_completion_function PARAMS((const char *, int));
 #endif
 }}}


 Appears the declaration for file_name_completion_function has been
 commented out.
