readline issues while building python3

[dellelce]

the following test in Python configure log appears to be an issue with Python's configure (missing -lncurses):

configure:25125: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline

add missing PKG_CONFIG_PATH in build script for readline was not enough for fixing the issue: 64ab291

readline is not loading because ncurses is not built or link options incorrect.
