The default is with system readline...

gdb-common.inc:PACKAGECONFIG ??= "readline"

However if you do have PACKAGECONFIG set to "" for gdb for some reason then
you'll want to cherry-pick ce2542057d877044a7548f2884d192f4f672c75a
(master-next) to fix builds with the internal readline if you've got
no-static-libs enabled (which is true for Poky).
