New description:
Some distributions set up autotools to install libraries into
`%{prefix}/lib64`, which breaks Sage's assumption that libraries are
installed in `$SAGE_LOCAL/lib`. In particular, !OpenSuse64 according to
this thread https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sage-devel/LS-
u8E77NJQ/discussion
It seems like we have two options:
* Always call `./configure --libdir='${prefix}/lib'` to explicitly
specify the library directory, or
* Set up a symlink `$SAGE_LOCAL/lib64` -> `$SAGE_LOCAL/lib`.
The symlink is the lazy thing to do but will probably break again with the
next architectural change. Fixing the configure call seems the right thing
to do but will need some work to patch up all spkgs.

Comment(by vbraun):
I tested the new readline on mark/skynet (Solaris SPARC) and it works.
