Ok, thanks. After doing a jhalfs build with and without the SHLIB_LIBS setting, I see that some results in util-linux configure are different. This is not a big deal, since readline is marginally used in util- linux, but it shows that other packages might behave differently without the setting. So the only thing to do is to add --with-curses, so that the .pc file is correctly generated, and keep the SHLIB_LIBS=... setting.
