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.
