I am using this version:

 https://github.com/vincentbernat/lldpd/blob/master/m4/ax_lib_readline.m4

Which is almost like the original except that I use READLINE_LIBS (which
is a copy of $ax_cv_lib_readline only if readline is detected) and I
check for more symbols to detect a non-broken libreadline (this works
with libedit too).

But yes, it would be far more convenient if libreadline would use
pkg-config. Dunno why they don't.
