Summary: readline broken in configure

Initial Comment:
It appears that support for readline broke on my
machine
between 2.2.1 and 2.3a.  Pasted below is a relevant
section from config.log.


configure:15640: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in
-lreadline
configure:15673: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c
-lreadline -ltermcap -lsocket -lnsl -lposix4 -ldl 
-lpthread >&5
configure:15676: $? = 0
configure:15679: test -s conftest
configure:15682: $? = 0
configure:15693: result: yes
configure:15705: checking for rl_completion_matches in
-lreadline
configure:15738: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c
-lreadline -ltermcap -lsocket -lnsl -lposix4 -ldl 
-lpthread >&5
/var/tmp/ccoJe7u1.o: In function `main':
/export/home/jbauer/CVSPython/python/dist/src/configure:15730:
undefined referen
ce to `rl_completion_matches'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:15741: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 15712 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"


[My setup: Sparc Solaris 2.6, readline 4.2]

I cut and pasted the relevant section from my old
2.2.1 configure file and readline is now working
again.
