The code below seems to work.  Although now the literal version string
is embedded in guile-readline/configure at autoconf time.  I think in
the old code, it was variable, and so changing GUILE-VERSION would
take effect after the next configure run.  With the new code, when you
change ../GUILE-VERSION you'll need to run autoconf for everything to
propagate.

  AC_INIT(guile-readline,
          m4_esyscmd(. ../GUILE-VERSION && echo -n ${GUILE_VERSION}))
  AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(readline.c)
  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign no-define])

  . $srcdir/../GUILE-VERSION

  AC_PROG_INSTALL
  ...

If I get a chance, I'll also check and see how gmp does things.

In addition, with readline.scm in guile-readline/ice-9 we have to
play around a bit to define the right ice-9 location in
guile-readline/ice-9/Makefile.am:

  guile_pdd = $(patsubst %/guile-readline,%/guile,$(pkgdatadir))
  ice9dir = $(guile_pdd)/$(GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION)/ice-9
  ice9_DATA = readline.scm
