Michael,

I have the very same failure,
> library(sf)
Linking to GEOS 3.4.2, GDAL 2.1.3, proj.4 4.9.1
(pre upgrade attempt, which still works just fine)

checking for geos_c.h... yes
checking geos: linking with -lgeos_c... yes
checking for lwgeom_version in -llwgeom... no
configure: error: in `/tmp/RtmpsCmf6B/devtoolsd68e68107a/edzer-sfr-d620f3b':
configure: error: lwgeom test failed (--without-readline to disable)

I could nearly copy your install output though on 16.04, and the same
tangle of it depends on x but it won't be installed & etc.
But, if you have PostGIS, you have liblwgeom as it is fairly specific to
PostGIS. Perhaps, rather than a devtools::github_install,
a clone github lo a local directory and config, make, install might work,
but I'm just imagining.

then testing:
config.log --snip --
configure:3993: checking for lwgeom_version in -llwgeom

See `config.log' for more details

so, it may or may not be the presence or absence of liblwgeom but simply
an undefined reference as suggested above:

/home/chris/sfr/sfr/conftest.c:34: undefined reference to `lwgeom_version' ,

but I'm unclear how the version was being requested (well, I can kind of
guess)
but failing on undefined reference suggests it is not the version per se
that may
or may not be present (though is because you are using PostGIS), but how
the version was requested. I intuit.

Ah, and reading  /* confdefs.h */, that it indeed ends with #define
HAVE_GEOS_C_H 1,
and indeed, conftest.c:34: would have an  undefined reference to
`lwgeom_version'.

And I've said as much as I understand.
