No I didn't (before you pointed to them), but I think I came to the exact same conclusion as the person who replied in both threads: that could have been anticipated, since I used the present (readline-8.0) doc, specially INSTALL, which most likely has been written by the same person. I have tried everything I said. Linking both libraries completes OK even if SHLIB_LIBS is not passed. And adding --with-curses just changes the readline.pc file to reference ncurses instead of termcap. But I do not intend to commit this until I have done a complete rebuild of lfs, with ICA to make sure this problem has gone away.
