Please read

http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html

and then show that to the maintainer of the readline package, who can fix
this in his package.  The error becomes clearer if you look at the part of
the config.log file that deals with this failure.

As a side note, readline is now at 5.2; perhaps the bug has been fixed in
the meantime.
