https://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.en.html specifies:

"When we say that GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible, it means there is no 
legal way to combine code under GPLv2 with code under GPLv3 in a single 
program." - What is a single program though? Readline would still be a 
single program within the bitbake build, would it not? I'm not 
"stealing" nor editing its code but compile it as is.
