configure:6797: checking test program
configure:6806: gcc -o conftest      conftest.c -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket -ldl -lm -lreadline -ltermcap  1>&5
configure: failed program was:
#line 6802 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
int main() { return 0; }

Hmm, that's not very helpful.  On some systems it seems that configure's
habit of redirecting stdout and stderr with wild abandon causes useful
error messages to end up in the bit bucket.  Try doing it by hand to see
what error you get, ie,

$ cat conftest.c
int main() { return 0; }
$  gcc -o conftest      conftest.c -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket -ldl -lm -lreadline -ltermcap

If that seems to work try
$ ./conftest
$ echo $?
