Compiling newt with slang-1.4.9-r1 with an uclibc profile brings this error :

-----------------------------------
gcc -g -o test test.o libnewt.a -lslang -lm  -static
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-pc-linux-uclibc/3.4.2/../../../libslang.a(slmisc.o)(.text+0xb37):
In function `_SLsecure_issetugid':
: undefined reference to `__libc_enable_secure'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test] Error 1
-----------------------------------

This is apparently due to slang-1.4.9 making use of a glibc-specific __libc_enable_secure call. This would be due to the inclusion from 1.4.7 on of a patch from Openwall in the main distribution. Solar Designer warned about incompatibility with other libc, but the patch went in anyway :

Package: sys-libs/slang
Herd: cjk
Maintainer: liquidx@gentoo.org, yakina@gentoo.org

slang-1.4.5-r1.ebuild  slang-1.4.5-r2.ebuild  slang-1.4.9-r1.ebuild  slang-1.4.9.ebuild

temp work around USE="-cjk" but it would be nice to fix this.
Patch looks good to me.
