Should work.

You also need something like "--with-includes=/usr/local/include"

Hmm, when using gcc I'd expect it to look in /usr/local without any
prodding. Define "won't work" --- what happens exactly when you
run configure? If it fails at one of the readline probing steps,
let's see the corresponding part of config.log, not just the terminal
output.
