Thanks for the reply. Yes I see the log of configure that readline is enabled:

config.status: creating lib/readline/Makefile

What's interesting is the binary I built is much bigger than the
original (2963751 vs 847044 bytes). Looking at the log of the compile,
I can see that readline is built and is linked statically, which would
explain the bigger size of the executable and why ldd doesn't report
it.

But the end result is still the same.
