To me, twiddling with --as-needed sounds like trading one set of
possible problems for a different one, configure checks should be as
deterministic as possible. It might still be that Peter's --as-needed
suggestion is a good fix, but I believe the issue I reported should
also be fixed by the patch Tom sent.

Reiterating a point from my original message, why is -l{readline,edit}
included in these configure checks at all? Most (if not all) of the
function checks in that block are not related to input editing anyway.
