No.

The key fact is distribution.  I can distribute a piece of software
that can be compiled to link to readline that is NOT GPLed because
there is another piece of software that shares the API.  I do believe
that things that link only to libraries that are GPLed cannot have
this property.

I could be wrong here, but I believe that this is one of the
significant distinctions.
