In 2.1.36 (or the current CVS sources, if you want it now) you won't
need to link to the readline and kpathsearch libraries if all you want
is numerical stuff from liboctave.

I don't think you need the hdf5 library now, even if you configured
and compiled Octave to use that library, since it is only used in
load-save.cc (part of the interpreter) and not referenced by anything
in liboctave.
