I installed Readline via homebrew, configure says:

(...)
checking readline/readline.h usability... yes
checking readline/readline.h presence... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
(...)

but when I run make I get:

Looks like you need to install GNU Readline.

I thought so too, I tried installing it via Homebrew:

brew install readline
Warning: readline-6.2.4 already installed

I ended up with installing yafc via Homebrew, which installs readline as a requirement and also provides completion for sftp.

You probably need to point LDFLAGS to the right place then. The error quoted is exactly what you get if you try to link against an imitation Readline...
