The tail of config.log follows.  As I confessed, libreadline had to be
simlinked into /usr/lib64, then I hit libz (as this log shows) and
started to doubt myself (even more).

Hmph.  That link command is indistinguishable from the successful call on
my Fedora box:

[ pokes around for a bit... ]  Oh, wait a minute:

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libreadline.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Oct  1  2010 /usr/lib64/libreadline.so ->

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libreadline.so
readline-devel-6.1-2.fc13.x86_64

If SUSE's packaging policies are like Red Hat's, your problem is that
you neglected to install readline-devel, zlib-devel, and so on.  You
would probably have twigged to this after configure started complaining
that the .h files weren't there either ...

Roger, wilco.
Much appreciated.

Note to self: finish rebuilding ones dev. env. afore building needed foss parts
