Why not use the readline that comes with ecasound?
Anyway, the above sounds odd, you definititely shouldn't need to add
libraries by hand to makefiles (this is done by ecasound's configure). Has
anybody else seen this?

I strongly recommended not to use --enable-sys-readline. It makes sense
for distributions that include ecasound (they only need to test against
one version of readline), but for others, sys-readline mostly just causes
extra trouble.
