You might need to install readline-devel or some such package.  I don't think 
anything has changed in python here...

Hmmm, it's possible some of the configure magic changed.  It
might have been inadvertant.  Can you attach your
config.log?   When you did a ./configure it should have
printed out some things about readline and searching for it.
 That might help you diagnose the problem.
