Your ldd output looks nice. Is it still that simple after you've update
your readline lib?

Most of my above libs get in via libreadline:

 -bash-3.1$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5
warning: ldd: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5: is not executable
        libiconv.so.2 =>         /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /lib/libmd5.so.1
        libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
        libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
        libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1

I've not idea about /lib/libaio.so.1
(Possibly our system is set up suboptimal.)
