   I removed the old readline library and re-ran configure without
specifying specific libraries and headers. The config.log shows symbol
errors in libreadline:

configure:7570: checking for location of Readline library
configure:7595: checking for readline in -lreadline
configure:7612: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    -I/usr/include/

/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
     builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char readline();

   At some time in the distant past I had this happen with another build, but
it's been much too long for me to remember how to fix the problem. Your
continued advice is needed.
