The relative merits and `breakage' of `underlinking' aside, it seems more
likely that this is a behavior of your make program.  There have not been
any significant changes in {,shlib}/Makefile.in between readline-6.2 and
readline-6.3 that would affect this.

In fact, I ran configure on a clean readline-6.3 build directory, then ran

gmake install DESTDIR=/some/scratch/directory SHLIB_LIBS=-lncurses

and watched make run gcc with the new value of SHLIB_LIBS:

gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libreadline.so.6.3 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib
-Wl,-soname,`basename libreadline.so.6.3 .3` -o libreadline.so.6.3
readline.so vi_mode.so funmap.so keymaps.so parens.so search.so rltty.so
complete.so bind.so isearch.so display.so signals.so util.so kill.so
undo.so macro.so input.so callback.so terminal.so text.so nls.so misc.so
history.so histexpand.so histfile.so histsearch.so shell.so mbutil.so
tilde.so colors.so parse-colors.so xmalloc.so xfree.so compat.so -lncurses

If you mean something else, please let me know.
