Configuring with
./configure --with-gcc="gcc -m64 -L/usr/sfw/lib/64 -R/usr/sfw/lib/64"
where 64bit libreadline is found in /usr/sfw/lib/64, configure script fails to realize that readline lib is present.
I was able to fix the problem by editing config script manually as follows:
A proper fix would be to change configure.in, but I don't know enough about autoconf to submit a proper patch.

The right solution in this case is to edit Modules/Setup
abalkin commentedon Mar 8, 2007
Can you explain how to edit Module/Setup to solve this problem?
Note that the problem that I see comes before modules are built. In fact it comes even before make.
In any case, I think the check for $ac_cv_have_readline_readline" = no instead of "$ac_cv_lib_readline_readline" = no looks like a typo in configure.in. And looking for readline in libtermcap does not look like sound logic either.

The "ac_cv_have_readline" check isn't present in trunk. I'll close this
unless someone voices opposition.

I don't have a Solaris box to test at the moment, but I believe the
following commit fixed this issue:

that may be required when linking against readline. This fixes issues
with x86_64 builds on some platforms (at least a few Linux flavors as
well as OpenBSD/amd64).

If it is the case, this issue should be closed as a duplicate of bpo-1204.

Hmm why you dont use LDFLAGS ?
It is well documented what to expect during configuration and build phase.
