The problem occurs because readline requires the curses library, but
does not include it when building its shared library. On Sun and
Linux, this simply causes ntp to be configured not to use readline;
on IRIX, though, such dependencies do not cause the link to fail,
but do cause the run-time linking to fail, as above.
I'll submit a patch to work around the problem by also linking against
curses in ntp.
