If I do ./configure --disable-shared on CGDB's configure script then
readline also get's that information and will not build the shared
libraries.

Now I somehow need to make configure think I was invoked this way. 
So that readline get's invoked this way. Is there some global I can set
in the CGDB configure.in, or macro to call, to set the option internally?
