It seemed to me that you need to specify the readline locations
explicitly in order for them to be picked up by the readline module at
build time.
./configure --with-readline-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-readline-libraries=/usr/local/lib
did the trick for me.
Setting CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include (and LDFLAGS respectively)
didn't carry through to the build of the readline module.
