[Bug-readline] Error compiling for Leopard (Intel)

[Richard Giraud]

I tried to compile the readline library for Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel) and 
received the following error:

i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: -compatibility_version only allowed with 
-dynamiclib
make[1]: *** [libreadline.5.2.dylib] Error 1
make: [shared] Error 2 (ignored)

I've attached a script of the build.

I was able to work around the issue by making the following change after 
running the ./configure command.  I couldn't figure out how to do this 
via configure parameters and/or environment variables (though I didn't 
try too hard).

$ diff readline-5.2/shlib/Makefile readline-5.2.mod/shlib/Makefile
86c86
< SHLIB_XLDFLAGS =  -arch_only `/usr/bin/arch` -install_name 
$(libdir)/$@ -current_version $(SHLIB_MAJOR)$(SHLIB_MINOR) 
-compatibility_version $(SHLIB_MAJOR) -v
---
> SHLIB_XLDFLAGS =  -arch_only `/usr/bin/arch` -install_name 
$(libdir)/$@ -current_version $(SHLIB_MAJOR)$(SHLIB_MINOR) 
-compatibility_version $(SHLIB_MAJOR) -v -dynamiclib

Please let me know if there is more that I can do to help.
