Failure to detect readline normally occurs because readline requires
some other library (e.g. libncurses, libtermcap or libtinfo). 
Unfortunately, there isn't any obvious way of detecting which
additional libraries we should attempt to use.

For the time being, you have to either:

a) ensure that the libreadline which configure finds is a dynamic
library (libreadline.so) with correct dependency information, or

b) don't use --with-readline, and manually edit src/CMD/head and
src/include/config.h once the configure script has completed.
